A little bit about me

Hello Dashja here, just a little summery about myself. I went to college at South Suburban for Criminal Justice. I am currently going to school to become a Surgical Technician. I’m also trained in CPR/First Aid. I am a mother myself and that’s where I get most of my experience even though I have outside experience as well. I am from Chicago but have been in Lake County for 5+ years. Feel free to ask me ANYTHING I’m pretty much a open book. Hopefully I can work with a beautiful family in the future!

More About Me

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

Lifeguarding, I had to watch the safety for well over 100+ kids. I think this was the most intense job I had working with children because you literally cannot take your eyes off of them. You continuously have to scan and your reaction time has to be quick. I learned so much working with children when it came to that field.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Any outdoor activity is great I’m very active myself I also love doing arts and crafts with them even though the kiddos might be better.

The most important part about being a nanny...

When being a nanny the most important part is the children’s safety. Every child should go home the same way they came.

My experience with special needs children...

Because I have no experience I won’t take any children with special needs until I properly learn how to care for them.
