A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Divina and I am a responsible, caring nanny with over three years of experience working with children ages 10 to 13. I am CPR certified and committed to providing a safe, supportive, and positive environment where children feel comfortable and encouraged to be themselves.
I currently work in horticulture and am studying it as well, which reflects my strong passion for nature and the outdoors. I love incorporating outdoor activities, exploration, and hands-on learning into my time with children, helping them stay active, curious, and engaged. I am patient, dependable, and enjoy building meaningful connections while supporting children’s independence, creativity, and confidence.
My goal is to create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment while giving parents peace of mind knowing their children are in capable and caring hands.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part of being a nanny is ensuring the safety, well-being, and emotional security of the children in my care. Building trust with both children and parents is essential, and I strive to create a nurturing, dependable, and positive environment where children feel safe, respected, and supported.
I believe it is important to be patient, attentive, and consistent while encouraging each child’s independence, confidence, and personal growth. Strong communication with parents is also key, so I can provide reliable care while supporting the family’s routines, values, and expectations. My goal is to be a positive role model and create a safe, caring environment where children can learn, grow, and thrive.
