About Daonne

Caring for children has always been something I truly love. I enjoy building meaningful connections with kids, helping them learn and grow, and making sure they always feel safe, happy, and supported. I spent three years working as a camp counselor with children ages 5–15, where I planned activities, encouraged teamwork, and created a fun and positive environment. During a break from college, I also worked in a daycare in the 6 months to 1 year-old classroom and 1–2 year-old classroom for three months, gaining hands-on experience and learning how important patience, consistency, and kindness are during those early years. Outside of work, I've helped care for my five nieces and nephews since they were born, and I continue to be an active part of their lives as they grow. Being involved in their lives has taught me so much about caring for children of all ages, adapting to different personalities, and creating strong, trusting relationships. I attended college, where I studied Psychology with a minor in Child Development. While I'm not currently enrolled, I plan to continue my education in the spring semester because I'm passionate about expanding my knowledge and continuing to grow in a career working with children. I currently work at an ABA center, where I support children ages 2–8 with autism. Every day, I help children build communication, social, and daily living skills while celebrating each of their unique strengths. This experience has strengthened my patience, creativity, and ability to meet each child where they are. Working with children is so much more than a job to me, it's what I genuinely enjoy and hope to continue doing for years to come. I strive to create a safe, nurturing, and fun environment where children feel loved, encouraged, and free to be themselves. My goal is always to give parents peace of mind, knowing their children are being cared for with the same love, patience, and attention that I would give my own family.
