A little bit about me
My name is Dominique Davis, I’m 26 years old and based in the Washington, DC area. I’ve been caring for children for years through helping raise and look after my younger cousins, as well as working with children ages 5 and up at the Boys & Girls Club. More recently, I’ve also been helping care for my three-year-old autistic cousin, which has taught me even more about patience, communication, consistency, and understanding each child’s individual needs. Although I don’t have a long history of formal paid nanny experience, caring for children has been a meaningful part of my life for years. I’m responsible, patient, dependable, and comfortable creating a safe and positive environment for children. I genuinely enjoy working with kids and would love the opportunity to bring the same care and attention I give my own family to a nanny position.
