I've taught first, second, and fourth the last 6 years. Before that, I ran youth programming at a climbing gym for pre-k and older. I have experience working at a behavior school, after school center, and summer camp. I believe in a social emotional, inquiry based way of working with children and belive play is an integral part of learning.

I have more than 5 years of childcare experience, including working as an assistant teacher at a daycare and committing long-term to several families I still keep in touch with today. I've had the privilege of traveling with one family on multiple occasions, which speaks to the trust we've built over the years. Parents have told me I'm friendly, reliable, and responsible, with a natural ability to attune well to each child's unique needs. I genuinely love what I do and take pride in creating a safe, nurturing environment for the children in my care.

Hi there! My name is Danielle, and I’m a passionate and experienced caregiver who truly loves working with children. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of supporting kids in a wide range of settings—from private tutoring and substitute teaching to working as a behavior specialist with children with developmental challenges. I’ve also worked as an after-school program leader at various elementary schools and provided trusted childcare through Care.com. On top of my professional experience, I’ve spent countless hours caring for the little ones in my own family, which has only deepened my understanding of what it means to show up with patience, love, and consistency.My approach is rooted in kindness, empathy, and clear communication. Whether I’m helping with homework, playing games, guiding behavior, or simply being a calm presence, I treat every child with the highest level of care and respect. I believe that every child deserves to feel safe, heard, and supported—and it’s an honor for me to help create that environment.I'm eager for the opportunity to share my heart and experience with your family. Thank you for considering me to be a part of your child’s care and growth!

I have been an on and off babysitter for about 4/5 years now. When I was 13 I went to an actual babysitting class and got my license! I have also worked as a lifeguard for the past 3 summers which mean I am also CPR certified!! I grew up with younger brothers and I love young kids! I like to keep them engaged and entertained while keep the area tidy or tidying up for the family with permission.

I’m a full time nanny and am new to the area. I don’t have a lot of “weekend families” here so I’m trying to find some families to work with to fill up my weekends and days off! I have over 8 years of experience as a nanny, babysitter, cheerleading and gymnastics coach, swim instructor, and am currently in classes pursuing a kinesiology major with an early childhood education minor! I also love pets and have experience dog walking and pet sitting!
