I've been a nanny for 6 years now. It's the best job I have ever had! I love kids and always wanted to open up my own day care center. That never happened so I'm doing the next best thing! I love playing games, reading books, singing songs and nursery rhymes. I like to play outside at the park or just go on a walk and explore. I hope that you consider me for the most important position in your home. Finding that perfect nanny is a stressful decision for you. I hope to meet with you and your family to see if we are that perfect fit! If you decide to go in a different direction, I wish you the best on your search. Sherri

I am Miss Danielle. The kids describe me as “the cool nanny” I’ve always had a passion for taking care of children or working with them. I have done volunteer work while receiving my certifications in Child Development and started working in a day care immediately after. As I grew more experience I started to feel more confident to become a sitter for families who couldn’t afford overpriced child care service. Last year I took on a very big role in 4 children lives. I met them while they were living in a shelter and I instantly wanted to help this family. I started to use resources to help them and their mom secure an establish place to live. They inspired me to continue to follow my path and advocate and be a superb babysitter or nanny! I have a 12 year old daughter as the experience of mommy hood has been the best! I’m still learning and I’m loved by all of my nieces and nephews (8 and counting) winning favorite Aunt 3 years in a row. I am enthused and passionate about taking care of children and growing bonds with the families I work for. I would love to be considered as someone you can trust with your children, teach your children as my own and also provide a safe and healthy environment.

I am CPR certified and have taken an EMT course through Indiana University. I have cared for 4 children at once, so I can handle a lot at once.

I love doing activities with the kids I babysit including arts and crafts, outside play, and other hands on activities.
