Being the eldest of my siblings, with an age gap of 15 yrs and 21yrs, put me in a position to learn the needs of children front and center. I joke that I was more of their parent than actually their sibling. My caretaker background continues as an after school counselor for the Y.M.C.A. in the K.A.S.P.E.R program. Also, I was working with special needs children in the N.W.S.R.A. I received my certificate in first aid and CPR with those positions. I received a bachelor’s in marketing communications and am looking for a position with children currently, as it is rewarding and a change of pace is what I need. I enjoy creativity, imagination, and play. Art projects and science projects, and learning activities are things I would love to share with your children. I am reliable, empathetic, and kind. I am so looking forward to meet you and your kiddos!

Hi! My name is Danni Alvarez, I am 29 years old and I have been worked with children for the last 10 years. With over ten years of experience nurturing, guiding, and educating children—as a nanny, day camp counselor, and most recently a lead teacher at Champions—I’ve developed a deep passion for creating warm, engaging, and supportive environments where children thrive. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of working with kids of various ages and backgrounds. Whether leading a classroom, planning enriching activities, or supporting a child one-on-one, I strive to foster curiosity, confidence, and kindness. I also speak Spanish fluently and have had experience teaching that to babies and toddlers! My time at Champions especially strengthened my skills in classroom management, curriculum planning, and collaborative teamwork with fellow educators and families. What I love most about working with children is seeing the world through their eyes—the joy in small discoveries, the power of encouragement, and the importance of consistency and care. I bring patience, creativity, and genuine enthusiasm to every role, and I’m excited about the possibility of contributing to your family! Thank you for considering my application.

Caring for children has always come naturally to me, it’s something I genuinely enjoy and take pride in. I love being a sitter because I know how much trust it takes to leave your little ones in someone else’s care. I do everything I can to help both children and parents feel safe, supported, and respected. Whether it’s playtime, nap time, or a challenging moment, I aim to bring calm, connection, and patience to every interaction. I was a nanny for over 5 years before transitioning into the healthcare field, where I most recently worked as a health care educator. Through both paths, one thing has always remained true: I love taking care of people. I am currently a full-time student enrolled in online courses and I’ve returned to part-time childcare. I’ve built strong relationships with families and continued with occasionally babysitting over the years. Date nights for parents are still important! I’m CPR certified and experienced with children of all ages, from infants to school-aged kids. My background in healthcare and education gives me a unique edge when it comes to attentiveness, safety, and developmental awareness. I bring a warm, grounded energy into the home, and I’m often told I’m the kind of sitter kids feel instantly comfortable around. If you’re looking for someone dependable, emotionally attuned, and genuinely passionate about caregiving, I’d love to connect with your family!
