A little bit about me

Hi families! My name is D’Aja Whitfield, and I’m a passionate future educator currently pursuing my Bachelor’s in Elementary Education at Michigan State University with endorsements in Early Childhood (PK-3) and ESL. With over three years of hands-on experience in early childhood classrooms and a background as a Pre-K assistant teacher, I bring a strong foundation in child development, emotional support, and educational play.

I’ve worked with children ranging from toddlers to early elementary, supporting their growth academically and socially. I’m CPR/first aid-trained, creative, patient, and deeply committed to building trusting relationships with both children and families. Whether it’s planning engaging learning activities, helping with routines, or simply creating a safe and loving environment—I'm here to make your lives easier while enriching your child's day-to-day experiences.

I look forward to being a consistent, caring, and positive presence in your home!

More About Me

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

I have had several roles where I directly cared for and supported children’s development. I worked as a Pre-K Assistant Teacher and Infant Teacher at John Evans Montessori Academy for three summers, where I led morning routines, helped with academic and creative projects, and communicated regularly with families about student progress.

In addition, I’ve completed multiple field placements through Michigan State University in kindergarten through third grade classrooms, where I helped with daily routines, classroom management, one-on-one and group instruction, and social-emotional support. These experiences gave me valuable insight into children’s developmental needs and strengthened my ability to create a nurturing, structured, and engaging environment.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I love doing arts and crafts, reading stories, playing outside, and coming up with fun learning games. I really enjoy anything that lets kids be creative and explore the world around them!

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part about being a nanny is creating a safe, loving, and consistent environment where children feel seen, heard, and supported. It’s about building trust with both the child and the family, nurturing their development, and being a positive influence during their early years. A nanny isn’t just a caregiver—they’re a role model, a teacher, and a source of comfort.
