A little bit about me

Hi! I’m Daija, and caring for children has always been a big part of my life. As the oldest of five siblings, I grew up helping with children of different ages, which taught me how to be patient, nurturing, responsible, and adaptable. I genuinely love being around kids and creating a fun, safe, and supportive environment where they can feel comfortable, happy, and themselves.

I also worked at a daycare during my senior year of high school and throughout my gap year before college, which gave me hands-on experience with children’s daily routines, playtime, learning, and care. I love keeping kids engaged through fun activities, creative play, and making everyday moments exciting while still keeping structure and responsibility in mind.

I would describe myself as dependable, kind, energetic, and attentive. My goal is to help families feel at ease while giving kids a nanny they can have fun with, feel safe with, and look forward to seeing!
