Taryn Smith | After Care Teacher
Ms. Taryn grew up in Seattle and has been with Cascadia since 2023, where she previously spent 7 years as a nanny. She loves working with children and seeing them learn and grow; the moment their faces light up when they learn something new will always be a joy to Ms. Taryn. Her favorite subject is English (reading, writing, and annotating), and she enjoys reading, hiking, running, writing, and playing with her French bulldog Minnie-Bug. She is currently learning to speak French and hopes to visit Switzerland someday. Her favorite time of year is Christmas; the joy, the lights, and especially the big Christmas parade in Bellevue (Snowflake Lane) — this will be her 5th year performing in the parade!
