Deshanta’s Bio
hope this email finds you well.
I am a 48 year old mom of one. However, my baby is actually not a baby anymore, my daughter is 28 years old. After 26 years of working in accounting at UPS, I decided to take a buy out and retire early.
Now that I have spent almost 9 months at home, I've had time to reflect on a lot of things. I realized that not only do I miss working but I miss caring for/looking after someone. I decided that joining Sittercity would help me feel more fulfilled. I even took a CPR/AED/First Aid class a few weeks ago and now I am certified.
I'm extremely loving and compassionate. I'm happy to cook and do some light cleaning. In time, my hope is that I would feel like an extended part of your family. I am someone that you can count on for consistent scheduled work or random fun date nights.
I'm happy to discuss my qualifications further over the phone or in person. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me if you think that I may be a good fit for this position.
Thank you,

Reviews
Deshanta helped with drop off for my 6 year old son for 2 week (this was a long term job).
Pro -she arrived 15 minutes early and made sure my son was dropped off on time. working no more than 2-3 hours a day suited her.
However unexpected school delays and closures occurred during that time. Due to her schedule restrictions and interpersonal dynamics between her and my 6 year old son, I ended up making last minute alternative childcare arrangements if there was the slightest possibility of school closure.
Overall she would be great for older children who are very self sufficient/require minimum oversight and for parents who require help with drop offs only. Working parents make sure you have backup childcare in the event of school closure/delays or sick days.
I can't recommend Ms. D highly enough. She is one of the most patient, kind and caring caregivers we've worked with. She is incredibly reliable, showing up early every single day she was with our family. She kept in constant communication with us and our children immediately loved her. The only downside was that she wasn't with our family long enough since she is moving. Our children loved her, so did we, and we miss her terribly.
Agreed to an interview didn’t show, then stated that the pay was too low. We offered mid way between her high and low pay rate. So the honesty I wasn’t there from the start.
Lovely lady. Really interested in engaging with my child. Unfortunately our situation has changed and we're delaying our search. But it was a pleasure meeting her during the interview.
