More About Me

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

Hi! I’m DaKwanzaa, an experienced childcare provider with over 16 years of experience caring for infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. I’m also a mom and currently pursuing my Associate of Applied Science in Early Childhood Development.
My childcare style is patient, nurturing, dependable, and child-centered. I enjoy creating age-appropriate activities such as arts and crafts, sensory play, reading, music and movement, outdoor play, and other hands-on learning experiences.
I have experience caring for children with different needs, including ASD and ADHD, and use positive guidance, redirection, choices, and consistent routines. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, comfortable with pets, and believe in maintaining open communication with parents.
My goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and engaging environment where children feel comfortable, cared for, and encouraged to learn and grow.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I believe activities should be personalized to each child based on their age, developmental level, interests, personality, and individual needs. I enjoy providing a balance of fun, educational, creative, and active experiences rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.
Indoor activities may include arts and crafts, sensory play, reading, puzzles, board games, music and dancing, pretend play, building activities, simple STEM projects, baking, and age-appropriate learning games.
Outdoor activities may include nature walks, playground visits, bubbles, sidewalk chalk, bike or scooter time, ball games, scavenger hunts, gardening, water play, picnics, and outdoor obstacle courses.
My goal is to follow each child’s interests while creating engaging experiences that encourage creativity, independence, learning, movement, and most importantly, having fun!
