Our mission

I’m a Christian wife and mother, raising our children just outside of Austin, Texas. Working with children has been my passion for as long as I can remember. That passion first took shape in 2006 when I became a church group leader for kids ages 4 to 10. I quickly realized this was more than a job—it was a calling.

To deepen my knowledge and skills, I earned both a Bachelor’s and a Master’s degree in Education, with a strong emphasis on child psychology. Over the years, I’ve worked in a wide variety of roles, including daycare settings, nanny positions, and teaching in elementary and high schools. I began my first formal teaching position in 2012 and have been dedicated to education ever since.

Along the way, I’ve completed training in child development, child safety, recognizing and preventing abuse, supporting children with special needs, and exploring educational methods like Waldorf and Montessori.

First Choice Nannies was born from a dream I’ve carried in my heart for many years. I truly believe God has called me to serve families in this way—to help them find exceptional, trustworthy care for their children. It’s an honor to walk alongside parents in this journey, offering peace of mind and support they can rely on.

Hi, I’m Natasha, but most families just call me Tasha.

I’ve been working in childcare for over 16 years, across both the UK and the US, and honestly, it never feels like work because I genuinely love what I do. I hold a CACHE Level 3 qualification, a SENCO Level 5, and I’m a Certified Newborn Care Specialist, so whether you have a brand new baby or a houseful of littles, I’ve been there, and I love every stage.

I got my start running my own childminding business in the UK before making the move to Texas, and I’ve spent the years since building real, trusting relationships with the families I work with. I’m also a mom myself, and as a single parent, I know firsthand how much it means to find someone you truly trust with your child. That perspective shapes everything about how I show up for the families I work with

For me, it’s never just about the hours. It’s about showing up as a steady, reliable presence that kids and parents can count on.

I now work with First Choice Nannies supporting families across Texas, and I bring that same heart to the recruiting side, too. If you’re a family searching for the right fit, or a nanny trying to find your footing in this industry, I get it from both sides, and I’m here to help.

Hi, I’m Aja! I have a genuine love for children and have spent my entire career working with them in various capacities. I've spent so much time with kids, that I sometimes forget how to adult. 

In my free time, I enjoy listening to music, shopping, traveling, spending quality time with loved ones,  and exploring new foods.  I also appreciate the moments of relaxation.

I can’t wait to add my enthusiasm and creativity to the team!
