A little bit about me
I’m Jovoncé Daniel, a compassionate and reliable nanny based in Alexandria, VA. With years of experience caring for children of all ages, including those with special needs, I bring patience, structure, and genuine love to every family I work with. As a Certified Clinical Medical Assistant, I combine my healthcare training with nurturing care to ensure each child’s safety and well-being. I’m also certified in Medication Administration, Crisis Management, Intellectual Disability Care, CPR, First Aid, and Basic Life Support. My medical background helps me stay calm under pressure, manage routines confidently, and respond to any situation with care and professionalism. I believe children thrive when they feel secure and understood, and I take pride in creating an environment where they can grow, learn, and feel loved every day.

"Jo was a great help when we were in dire need of childcare. My daughter (at the time less than a year old) enjoyed playing with her and I course appreciated the help while I worked from home."

A little bit about me
Hey wonderful families, my name is fun sitter and smile creator nanny, i have a 10 years experience as a nanny, i’m very flexible very hardworking, always before time, am hardworking, happy, creative, open-minded, outgoing and a strong driver! I have been taking care of children for the last 10years. I have experience with children of all ages. 0- 14 l love what l do and I do it with lots of love. Children are sensitive, true and unique. It's important that a child isn't only being watched but taking care of with real love and care. I also love teaching about world around them to encourage wonder and participation. In terms of discipline, I detest corporal punishment and I don't believe in that as an option. I believe talking with children to explain morals and helping them understand and personalize concepts of good and bad behavior is the most effective way to help guide children. I am available to talk more in detail about my experiences, I'm looking forward for your contact!
