"We were lucky enough to have Deja as one of our teacher's in daycare - she was sweet and knowledgeable in the classroom. I immediately could tell she cared deeply for her students and their growth - helping identify and achieve key milestones like first teeth, rolling, crawling and walking! We were delighted she was open to also babysitting in our home - She is trustworthy and loves on our kiddo, even picking him up from school and walking him home to babysit. I would highly recommend Deja for babysitting without question!"

"Deja show interest in each child’s individuality. She’s a team player. She very open on speaking to parents and understanding the child needs. She sings to them and is very eager in seeing them hit milestones. I think that going forward you will be honored to have her on your team."

The most important part about being a nanny...
Communication and being on one accord with the parent(s) is always most important when nannying because It ensures that the child is receiving the ultimate best care and that you are meeting those expectations. It makes the experience for both parties more relaxed and a smooth sailing.
My experience with special needs children...
I have Had the opportunity to work with children with special needs through childcare. I’m currently in school studying special education!
The most important part about being a nanny...
The kids are always making cute little silly faces! I love to make them back! I enjoy pretending to play with the children’s toys even though they are obviously too small for an adult like me ! Haha, the kids always seem to get a kick out of that.
