A little bit about me
I have been working with families and their children for over 10 years prior to becoming a nanny I have worked in the field of education. The ages groups have been from infancy to preteens. I enjoy what l do because education has been my calling since l was a child. With my years of being a nanny, teaching and being an advocate to families ; I’ve learned that there is no such thing of having too much help. It takes a village to raise a child and l truly believe in that.

A little bit about me
With an extensive background in childcare as well as a nurturing spirit, I am confident that I can provide
excellent care to your child and support for your family. For over six years I have cared for children, birth
through elementary school, in different capacities. Starting as a 12 year old volunteer in my church’s
nursery, volunteering in schools, orphanages, hospital pediatric units, and most recently as a nanny, I
have cultivated skills in ensuring children’s emotional and physical wellbeing.
I put my heart into my work as a nanny. I believe it is vital to foster a relationship with children built on
mutual trust and respect. I believe this is best achieved through being fully present and engaged while
investing in their growth and development by creating a safe, loving, and structured environment. I truly believe it is my calling to work with children and have for as long as I can remember. My
qualification as a Registered Nurse gives me special insight into a child’s wellbeing. I can rock any baby
to sleep and have been frequently called the “baby whisperer.” I am passionate about healthy food,
books, music, and art and love sharing that with others. I am meticulous and very organized. I am great
at keeping schedules and routines while at the same time am flexible to adapt to new situations and
opportunities. I maintain open communication with parents and appropriately act on feedback received.
I really look forward to speaking with you more about your family’s needs and how I could be a part of
your child’s life.

A little bit about me
Let me give you a few details of myself. From the age of 12, I was given the responsibility to watch over 5 of my younger brothers and sisters. I then grew a love for children and was the babysitter of the family whenever needed. once I was able to work, I began working in summer camps and after school programs as a junior recreation leader. After, I was given the opportunity to work as an assistant caregiver in Fantasia Daycare for about 3 years. I love working with any age of children and have grown to want to work my career around children and caring for them. In 2013, after graduating high school, I began working part time for a family who had just given birth to twin boys. I was with that family for two years and finally got a full time taking care of a 4 year old girl and her sister who was 5. In between jobs, I've worked with many families as I was a "occasional" sitter for date nights or long days at work. My main duties consisted of feeding the children at the appropriate times, read, play, walks to the park, and pick ups/drop off from camp or school. I send over my resume and letter of recommendation once requested! Best of luck in your search. [phone number hidden]

A little bit about me
Hello! My name is Dani. I live in the Ukrainian Village neighborhood with my fiancé! I have been a nanny/sitter for the same family for the last 7 years and cared after their two girls (ages 7 and 9 now) since infancy, whom I absolutely grew to love! I have also cared for their baby cousin in between, and most times all 3 of them (he is now 18 months). I have babysat/nannied for plenty of other families with children of all ages for date nights/on occasion/weekend sitting with children ranging from infant to pre teen ages. The main family that I was with just recently moved away, which is my reason for searching for a new family. I am also super comfortable with and adore pets of all shapes and sizes, if that applies. I truly love bonding with babies and children of all ages and the overall nature of the "job". I like to spend my spare time doing lots of creative activities as well, which I like to incorporate in my nanny/sitter style. I have also spent many years volunteering (mainly at battered women’s shelters in the city) accompanying the children there and helping them socialize and grow through various activities. I truly love giving back where I can! It’s so important that these children grow up in a safe, nurturing, positive environment with people around who genuinely care and can help mold them into awesome individuals. I’m always willing to roll my sleeves up and get the job done, whatever that may be! I am completely comfortable with light house keeping and picking up after your child/children and preparing their food. I am also first aid/CPR trained/certified and speak intermediate/moderate Spanish if you would like to start your child off with learning a new language. I can also provide both personal and professional references with no problem. I believe I can be a great addition to any family and would love to create another close bond with whomever I work with next. Thank you so much for reading— please feel free to message me with any questions, ...
