A little bit about me
I’m a part-time nanny as well as a mom to a toddler. I like to keep things lighthearted when I work with kids. I’ll often offer to play a silly song so that little ones can dance and get their energy out in a positive way. I also offer both hugs and space, both talking time and cool down time, depending on what kids seem to be communicating that they need in the moment. I typically try to speak to young children without too much “baby talk,” so that they can grow their vocabulary and become competent communicators.
My approach to childcare is informed in part by the ~3 years that I worked in daycare settings. In those environments, I learned a lot about child safety and typical child development. In nannying settings, I’m able to adapt that knowledge to the needs of the specific home that I’m working in.

A little bit about me
Hi, my name is Danielle but I go by Dani! I am soon-to-be 20 years old, and enjoy writing poetry, short stories, and drawing in my free time. I have six months of experience nannying two grade-school kids, and enjoyed being a supportive presence in their daily routine. I am both Red-Cross and CPR certified, and am a licensed driver. I am comfortable helping with homework, preparing simple meals, and keeping things tidy. I love connecting to kids in creative ways, whether that's art, just good conversation, or games. I prioritize being a reliable and communicative worker and am happy to fit into whichever rhythm works best for you and your family.

"Lili is a loving, collaborative person, she helped me a lot with my daughter's development, she is responsible and punctual. Since Sofie was little she was interested in doing activities for her motor development and that was a great help, she read to her a lot and asked her opinion when she finished reading her favorite stories, I recommend her 100%"
