Tara Flatt has been caring for children for 10 + years. She has a toddler of her own and is expecting her second child in February. She loves children of all ages and has been nannying for neighborhood families. She is First Aid & CPR Certified, has a certification in Preventative Health and is background checked with the FBI and DOJ. She cares deeply about her role in supporting working families and offers additional services like evening and drop-in care because she knows it’s best for children to have a caregiver that feels like part of their family.
At San Mateo Station we strive to involve parents, to develop a relationship and strong bonds of trust. I want children to be able to express themselves and share activities and learning opportunities that are ideal for their ages. At San Mateo Station all snacks are provided and we ask you send in a healthy lunch and share with us any allergies your child may have.
