Meet Devon

Hello! My name is Devon. I am a college graduate from Duke University and am currently working at a start-up in New York City. I graduated with high honors with a major in Visual Media and also played on the Duke Women’s Lacrosse team for four years! I’m a very active person & maintaining a vibrant, healthy lifestyle is of the utmost importance to me. I am a creative, kind-hearted, passionate individual with over 8 years experience in child care and babysitting. My “MO" is that I love to come up with creative & interactive activities that allow me with bond with your child/children. It is important to me that I am someone they view as a friend they can trust rather than an outside stranger there to simply “watch” them. This also allows me to have a deeper understanding of your child’s unique qualities and helps me to serve Read more your family in a more effective way. I have experience working with infants through teenagers and have several references of amazing families I have worked with. I also have experience with special needs and disabled children as my brother is on the Autism Spectrum. My brother has taught me how to be empathetic, a keen listener, how to creative problem solve and understand that no two children are alike and all come with their unique needs. This is the perspective and approach that I bring to every family and every child that I care for. I look forward to meeting with you and getting to know your family!
