Meet Danielle
- Comfortable with pets
I've been experienced in a child-supervisory role since my younger brother was born when I was just 6 years old. With two parents working full-time in healthcare, I learned how to care for, feed and nurture my younger brother. Throughout high school I transferred these skills when I was asked to take care of family friends' children and other families' children through referral. In the past year and half I've garnered further experience taking care of two infant-aged children. I find it quite easy to access my inner child and thus it's no feat for me to interact and play well with babies and young children. Simultaneously, I'm a strong and serious worker who's adept at fast learning and detail-oriented. I'm not intimidated by the potential obstacles of babysitting and am very self-assured. This is because I'm inquisitive, concerned with knowing everything I need to be as equipped as possible Read more to excel at whatever job I'm tasked with. I find joy not only in doing everything to the best of my ability, but in helping others along the way and cultivating new and educational experiences. When it comes to babysitting, I take pride in how mindful I am of all the moving parts there are in child care. Being observant of changes in mood and/or physical appearance and behavior, ensuring a safe, clean and calm environment, prepping nutritious and balanced meals, communicating in a receptive, gentle and encouraging manner, planning fun activities that are beneficial to their cognitive development, keeping children on a healthy schedule, and updating parents on a frequent basis. I lend my successes as a babysitter and nanny to this deep understanding and respect of what it takes to care for babies and children.
