A little bit about me

Hi, my name is DesiRhea, I enjoy caring for and teaching children. I have 7 years of experience in Early Childhood Education as an Educational Coordinator and Teacher. I also have 7 years of experience as a personal nanny. As a nanny, I can provide transportation, meal prep, light housekeeping, and various developmental activities through daily explorations and play. My passion is teaching little ones and watching them develop into their unique selves. I am knowledgeable of various styles of teaching, but I do enjoy Amelia Reggio and Montessori. I believe children learn and grow better through exploration and hands-on experience. I look forward to meeting your little one and working with your family.

Hi! I’m a UNC student and an experienced, CPR and First Aid certified babysitter. I’ve been babysitting since high school and have experience caring for children ranging from 9 months to 12 years old.
