We have relied on Nazneen as our trusted babysitter for many years, caring for our three children since they were toddlers (age 2 and up). Our children are now 22, 16, and 13, and even today she remains someone we fully trust and turn to for childcare support. She has always been our go-to caregiver because she is dependable, attentive, and genuinely wonderful with kids of all ages. Nazneen creates a safe, calm, and nurturing environment while also keeping children engaged and cared for. As a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) and CPR-certified provider, she brings an added level of professionalism and confidence to her childcare. We have always felt completely comfortable leaving our children in her care and highly recommend her to any family looking for a responsible, experienced babysitter.

Danielle D., Child Care in Ocklawaha, FL 32179 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.
