My name is Dakota, and I grew up in a small town in New Hampshire, near Boston. I’ve been working with children since the day I could remember. I’ve always loved the joy children give when they get so excited. In 2023 I moved to Florida to cut the long distance with my husband and be closer to him and even closer to the family I had down there. I loved going to the beach and having the warm weather every day, but soon realized that’s not where I want to raise my future family. We decided to come closer to his family who is from Northern Kentucky, but still have that city feel. I’m excited where this new adventure will take us. I started my childcare journey as a “babysitter” at my local church in New Hampshire. When I was 13(ages 1-5). I then volunteered (not getting paid) at Read more an elementary school for an after-school program for a year. I got hired to work all throughout high school (14-18). ages (5-12). After I graduated high school, I was working at a preschool as the 1-year-old teacher while taking classes to get my degree in Early Childhood Education. (on pause right now with classes but will be taking virtual classes in the future). I worked there for about 2 years then worked as a nanny for a 5-month-old. I was feeding, changing, putting down for naps and doing lots of activities. Then I moved to Florida and started working as a 2-year-old teacher at a private school, worked there for 5 months and decided nannying was what I wanted to do. I found a family and was with them for almost a year, she was five years old! I picked her up from school, bring her to actives she has for that day if she doesn’t have anything we’ll go to the park or do an activity if it’s nice outside! then go back home do some educational workbooks or a craft. cook dinner, do bath and put to bed! Now I have moved to Lexington Kentucky with my Husband to be closer to his family. I’m excited to see where this new adventure goes! I think what makes me a great babysitter/ nanny is that I’m always prepared for what’s to come. I’ve worked with every age possible in different settings. I’ve been in the classroom in public school, in a private school, daycares and being a nanny staying at someone’s house. I’m always ready for the next activity, I always have different activities and crafts planned out and ready to go!
