A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Daria Startari and I am 26 years old. I'm an Ithaca College graduate, and I've been nannying and babysitting on and off for over 10 years. I've been lucky enough to work with some amazing families in both Connecticut and Hawaii.
I am first aid and CPR certified. I also have experience with kids of all different age groups.
A little about me—I love being outside, going on adventures, exploring parks, doing crafts, reading books, and finding fun ways to keep kids engaged. I really enjoy creating a positive, loving environment where children feel safe, happy, and free to be themselves.
For me, being a nanny is so much more than just a job. I truly love building relationships with families and getting to watch children learn, grow, and hit new milestones. It's such a rewarding role, and I feel so grateful to be someone parents can trust and depend on with the people who matter most to them.

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

I have volunteered to work with kids with special needs in both high school and college.

I have experience working with infants with severe eczema.

I also have experience teaching infants and toddlers through the Montessori methods. I am also a huge advocate against screen time despite my age.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I love being outdoors and going to playgrounds and just exploring nature. I love arts and crafts as well, and that can be done inside of the house or outside.

On rainy days we stay inside and have fun playing games or doing some fun sensory projects, specifically for little ones.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Having patience and being kind.

My experience with special needs children...

Volunteered with special needs kids with autism and OCD while volunteering for several organizations in high school and college.

The most important part about being a nanny...

My favorite nanny moment is not a huge milestone, but when Frank, a toddler that I was taking care of was cracking up because I made a little theater out of a Home Depot box, and I was just hiding behind it and saying peek a boo. He had one of those cry laughs, where he was just so happy. It's not a huge milestone, but it's a great memory I hold near and dear to me.
