"I am delighted to offer my unequivocal recommendation for Deidra, with whom I had the pleasure of working with at Kidzone Daycare and knowing, from February 2008 to July 2009. Throughout our employment, she consistently demonstrated her exceptional dedication to child care, fostering an environment of trust, learning, and fun for all children.
When I embarked on a new professional opportunity that required extensive hours, Deidra graciously took care of my three children, ages 2, 5, and 8, from 2016 to 2019 and again from 2022 to 2025. Her reliability, compassion, and innate ability to connect with children have been invaluable to our family.
Recently, I have been fortunate to transition to a work-from-home position. Deidra, in turn, has turned to Nanny lane for opportunities. I can attest to her unwavering commitment to the well-being and development of children. Her nurturing nature, coupled with her extensive experience, makes her an exemplary candidate for any child care position."

More About Me
Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...
I worked at Kidzone Daycare for two years. As a dedicated daycare teacher for the 2 and 3-year-old class, my duties included planning and implementing age-appropriate activities, ensuring a safe and nurturing environment, and monitoring the developmental progress of each child. I collaborated with parents to provide updates on their children’s progress and worked closely with colleagues to maintain a cohesive and supportive educational environment.
Activities I enjoy doing with children...
0-2 yrs: I focus on sensory play, motor skills development, and simple interactive activities. Playing with soft and colorful toys, singing lullabies, and reading books.
2-4 yrs: I encourage exploration, language development, and basic cognitive skills. Interactive storytime, simple puzzles, building blocks, drawing with crayons, and imaginative play.
4-6 yrs: Creativity, social skills, and more complex cognitive development. Arts and crafts projects, games, basic science experiments, and imaginative play. I incorporate early literacy and numeracy activities.
6-12 yrs: Fostering independence, critical thinking, and advance social skills. Homework assistance, educational games, sports, group projects, and age-appropriate endeavors, such as writing or designing crafts.
13+ yrs: I prioritize building strong communication, mentorship, and life skills. Discussing interests and goals, guidance on school projects, community service, and exploring hobbies; music, art, or technology.

The most important part about being a nanny...
The most important part of being a nanny is fostering a safe, nurturing, and supportive environment where children can thrive and grow. A nanny plays a crucial role in a child's development, providing emotional support, encouraging learning and creativity, and ensuring their well-being. I believe that building a strong, trusting relationship with both the children and their parents is essential to creating a harmonious and positive atmosphere. I wholeheartedly believe by being attentive, empathetic, and adaptable, as a nanny can make a lasting and meaningful impact on a child's life.
My experience with special needs children...
I have worked with a few special needs children at Kidzone daycare and having family members with special needs. I have 6 children of my own. 2 have ADHD and one with autism.
I create structured routines, use positive reinforcement, and incorporate sensory activities to maintain attention.
For children with autism, I provide individualized attention, establish consistent routines, and use visual aids and sensory-friendly activities to enhance communication and comfort. My approach includes social skills development, collaboration with specialist, and fostering an inclusive environment. I am dedicated to creating a nurturing and supportive atmosphere where every child can thrive.
