Daphny W.
- 8 years paid experience
- 11 miles

Hi! My name is Daphny Wilches. I just graduated from the University of Florida in May 2025 with a degree in Business Administration. I’ve been working with kids for 8 years now, and childcare has always been something I’ve been genuinely passionate about. I’ve had the chance to work with all different age groups, and every experience has taught me something new. When I was 16, I was hired by the YMCA where I worked in the childcare center, refereed sports, and lifeguarded. Since then, I’ve worked mostly with toddlers and school-aged kids, but I truly enjoy being around children of all ages. I’m background checked, have been trained in CPR and First Aid, and some of the qualities people often use to describe me are: responsible, patient, active, flexible, punctual, and trustworthy. I’m also bilingual (fluent in Spanish), which has been a big help when working with diverse families. Outside of childcare, I love staying active! I’ve played basketball, tennis, flag football, and a bit of soccer. I also grew up around music and played both piano and clarinet. I try to bring those same interests into the care I provide, whether it’s getting outside to play or doing something creative indoors. I’m also someone you can count on for last-minute help—I totally understand that things come up, and I try to be as flexible and available as possible when families need a hand. My goal is always to support your child’s development and help them grow socially, emotionally, and confidently. I really look forward to meeting your family and hopefully making a positive impact in your lives!

Hi! I’m Kylie, and I am from Nashua, NH. I will be graduating from UNH this upcoming May with a major in Human Development & Family Studies and a double minor in Education & Spanish! Working with children is second nature to me. I have grown up babysitting ever since the age of 12 and I have dealt with all different types of children (including special needs). Working with kids is something that I am so passionate about that I decided to pursue a career in Early Childhood Education. I previously worked at Kumon, a tutoring center for children, teaching them basic math and reading skills. I also was a part time nanny for a 3 month old infant this past spring. In addition, I have been working seasonally on my breaks from school as a certified teacher in childcare in an Early Childhood Education center since May 2019 and have truly found my passion for fostering learning and growth for children and providing them with nurturing care to meet the needs of each individual child. I believe that each child brings something special and unique to the world. I am super passionate about working with children (primarily within the infant and toddler range) and I would love to help out! I am CPR and First Aid certified and covid vaccinated/boosted. I also have my own transportation. I have fully availability this summer on weekends and potentially weeknights as well. Please feel free to reach out if you think this could be a good fit or if you have any questions! I look forward to hearing from you😊
