Danielle D., Child Care in Ocala, FL 34474 with 15 years of paid experience

Hello! My name is Danielle and I am 28 years old. I am a VPK teacher over in Largo and work with 4-5 year olds. Children are my passion. I have worked with children as young as newborns, all the way up through high school. I have a Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education, Special Education and in Applied Psychology. I have all of the 40 clock hours required for child care professionals I am First Aid and CPR certified. I spent a year as a live in nanny for a little boy who when I started was 6 months. Mom and dad both worked 12 and 24 hour shifts so I know first hand the importance of a good bedime routine and have have no problem helping out with small cleaning projects such as laundry and dishes after such time I have been living with a friend for the last 4 years who has a boy who is now 6 and I am just as much his parent. I feel as though I have heard and seen it all! :) I love reading and doing art projects. I feel that children learn best through conversation and hands on experience. In my personal time I love being outdoors near the water.
