A little bit about me

Hi! I’m Dominique, but you can call me Domi. I recently graduated with a degree in Hospitality Management and am excited to pursue my dream of becoming a nanny. I’ve always loved working with children and creating a fun, safe, and caring environment where they can learn and grow. Since I was 17, I’ve worked at summer camps, gaining experience with kids of all ages through activities, games, and daily care. I also babysat throughout high school. In my free time, I love reading, doing crafts, spending time outdoors, and helping others whenever I can. I’m patient, dependable, and caring, and I would be honored to become a trusted part of your family’s support system. I’d love the opportunity to care for your little ones and hope you’ll give me the chance to be your nanny!

More About Me

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I love doing just about anything that gets kids excited and having fun! I enjoy reading books together, doing crafts, playing outside, going to the park, baking, playing games, and using our imaginations. I’m also happy to help with homework or come up with fun activities that keep them learning without it feeling like school. I really just enjoy spending time with kids and making sure they feel safe, loved, and have fun while we’re together.

The most important part about being a nanny...

To me, the most important part of being a nanny is creating a safe, loving, and trusting environment where children feel valued and cared for. I want every child to know they are seen, heard, and encouraged to be themselves. I also believe it’s important to support parents by being someone they can rely on and trust with the people who matter most to them. Building strong relationships with both the children and their family is what makes being a nanny so meaningful to me.
