A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Dakota, and I’m a nurturing, dependable, and energetic nanny with 4 years of experience caring for children of all ages, from curious toddlers to creative pre-teens. I believe every child deserves a safe, joyful, and stimulating environment where they can grow, explore, and thrive.

I am really good with:

Creating fun, educational activities tailored to each child’s interests

Maintaining routines that support healthy sleep, meals, and play

Handling light housekeeping and meal prep to keep your home running smoothly

Communicating openly with parents to ensure we’re always on the same page

I’m CPR/First Aid certified, have a clean background check, and come highly recommended by past families for my patience, creativity, and reliability. Whether it’s building pillow forts, helping with homework, or calming a fussy baby, I bring heart and professionalism to every moment.

Looking forward to becoming a trusted part of your family’s village!

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

I currently work at a gym daycare called Gainesville Health and Fitness and they only do Part-time and I love working with kids of all ages and I am great there. I also grew up watching and caring for my mothers friends little ones and also my cousins.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Helping creating special gifts for there parents/caregivers, I also love to cook and and bake and teach the little ones how to eventually make something yummy for there parents/caregivers, and I also do enjoy board games and outside activities or even activities inside. I have a very creative mind I would enjoy exploring with your little ones.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Growing up I came from a family where my Biological father was not there and it was just my mom. My mom was a single mom for about 16 years trying to provide for me and my siblings working 2 jobs and it was so hard for her because she never liked to ask for help because she was afraid. I want to be able to help those parents/caregivers get that time they need to provide for there family and do what they need to do even if its just a couple hours to get out the house for a break. Some things can get very overwhelming and that's understandable. I get so much joy out of kids and I am hoping one day in the future I can have my own family.

My experience with special needs children...

Mostly children with Autism.

The most important part about being a nanny...

There was a time I offered apple juice. They wanted grape. So I ended up offering grape juice. They all of a suddenly hated grape juice. Then I offered water. They absolutely said NO to that. Eventually, I stood there holding a juice box like it’s a peace treaty, and now all of a sudden they were sipping it like royalty while I was wonder how I lost a battle to a four-year-old.
