Hello and welcome! My name is Darieux, I’m a proud mother, grandmother, wife, and devoted Christian with a heart full of love and a home full of family. As a big sister and auntie to many, caregiving has always been more than a skill, it’s my calling. With over 20 years of hands on experience in nannying and babysitting, I’ve had the joy of nurturing children through every stage of early development. I’ve worked with children of all ages and backgrounds, including those with special needs, and I bring both personal and professional experience in adoption and foster care. I’m deeply respectful of each family’s unique values, routines, and preferences, and I’m known for being dependable, compassionate, and emotionally attuned to the children I care for. While I took time to successfully run my own seasonal business, my passion for childcare never faded. Now that my schedule has opened up days and some nights, I’m excited to return to what I love most: helping children grow in a safe, loving, and structured environment. I enjoy creating engaging activities, supporting emotional development, and building strong relationships with families from all walks of life. Whether you’re looking for a stable, long term caregiver or someone reliable for last minute support, I’m here to help. I come highly recommended, and I’d be honored to treat your child like one of my own

I am prior Navy and have spent many hours babysitting or volunteering in nurseries, daycare, and individual homes. I have a bachelor's in social work and sociology. I am going to graduate school for child welfare in the fall 2025. I love kids and the challenges that come with them. I have watched up to five children at a time but prefer a smaller group so I can give each child the attention that they need. I believe safety is the number one priority when it comes to watching children. I do everything I can to provide fun and happiness in a safe environment. I can help with household chores and transportation if asked and have experience around animals. I do have my own vehicle, I have access to military bases if you're on post, and am really excited to meet your family.
