A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Deriana, I’m 20 years old and was born and raised in Gainesville, FL (Go Gators🐊). I’m currently pursuing my nursing degree online, with the goal of becoming a Labor and Delivery nurse or NICU nurse. Caring for others has always been a passion of mine, and I’ve been a nanny for a close family member for the past two years, which has given me hands-on experience in childcare.

I love creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where children can learn and grow. I’m dependable, patient, and organized, with a natural ability to connect with kids of all ages. Between balancing school and work, I’ve learned strong time management skills and responsibility, which I bring into my caregiving.

Whether it’s helping with routines, engaging in creative play, or providing support with schoolwork, I’m committed to making sure children feel loved and cared for.

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

I worked part-time at a daycare in Miami while my university offered a scholarship for completing 200 hours as a teacher’s assistant. During that time, I really found my passion for working with kids. I worked with children ages 1 to 6, and I really enjoyed my job !

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I enjoy doing arts and crafts, reading, brain teasers, karaoke, I also like outdoor play because it helps them get their energy out and develop social skills. With the younger ones especially, I liked helping them with basic things like colors, shapes, and motor skills in a fun way.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part of being a nanny is being patient and really paying attention to the kids. It’s about making sure they’re safe, cared for, and comfortable, while also helping them learn and grow in a simple, consistent way.

The most important part about being a nanny...

My favorite nanny moment was when my baby cousin took her first steps while I was watching her. It was really special to witness.
