Meet Dara
Hello! My name is Dara, and I truly enjoy caring for children and helping them learn and grow in a safe, nurturing environment. I have over 5 years of professional childcare experience as a Sitter, Daycare Teacher, and childcare assistant, working with children from infants to school age. I also have experience as a substitute teacher, which has given me the opportunity to work with students across different grade levels and support their educational and social development. I love creating fun and engaging activities that are both age-appropriate and educational. From planning weekly lessons to encouraging healthy habits, I strive to make every child feel supported and valued. Families can also count on me for light housework, meal prep, and keeping schedules organized to ensure smooth daily routines. I am certified in CPR, First Aid, BLS/AED, and Epi-Pen administration, so safety is always my top priority. My goal as a Read more caregiver is to build trust with families while providing children with a warm, reliable, and caring presence. I am also currently working on obtaining my driver’s license to further support families with transportation needs in the near future.
