What TammiVille Is

A household where a child is known not a service that boards them.

TammiVille is more than a home. It is a household where your child is known by name, cared for with a motherly hand, and treated with the dignity every child deserves. Every family who places their child with us can trust that the person raising them here sees that child the way they do: as someone who belongs.

The Founder

”I believe a child does better when someone is waiting for them at the end of the day. With lovely smiles.”

This began as a passion long before it became a business: a calling to care for young people, and to help them become who they are meant to be. I found out from a tender age that I am blessed with the ability to talk my neighbors' children into obeying their parents. That gift did not go away. TammiVille is what it grew into.
