A little bit about me

Hi! I'm Dashia, 20 years old. As the older sibling of six, I have plenty of hands-on experience caring for kids of all ages. Last 2 summers, I've worked at a summer camp, which helped me develop essential skills like patience, communication, and problem-solving. I understand the importance of creating a safe and fun environment, and I'm confident in my ability to handle meal prep, homework help, and bedtime routines. I'm excited to bring my experience and enthusiasm to babysitting! If you would like to know more I would love for you to get back with me soon!

More About Me

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

I have volunteered at a school for their after school program. In 2024 and 2025 I worked at a summer camp with kids ages 5-13.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I love playing with kids, board games, baking, reading and watching movies. We can also play outside. I love playing volleyball and basketball for fun.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part of being a nanny is making sure the child feels safe, cared for, and understood. I also believe communication with parents is extremely important so that I can follow their routines, expectations, and parenting preferences consistently.

My experience with special needs children...

My younger brother was recently diagnosed with autism so i have about 2 years of experience with autistic kids and I'm always willing to learn more.

The most important part about being a nanny...

One of my favorite nanny moments was caring for a baby overnight and finally getting them settled after they had been fighting sleep. They eventually calmed down, fell asleep in my arms, and I remember feeling really proud that they trusted me enough to feel safe and comfortable with me. Moments like that are what made me realize how much I genuinely enjoy caring for children.
