As the oldest of five, I have grown up learning how to take care of kids. I started babysitting at age 13 and haven't stopped since! I have provided childcare for kids of all ages, from newborns to pre-teens. I have a Masters degree in social work with extensive knowledge and experience in child development. I started my career working at a therapeutic program for young kids with behavioral and emotional challenges. Later on, I worked with middle and high school youth in foster care. I currently live in Roslindale and I work at a nonprofit downtown as a licensed clinical social worker. My availability is weekdays after 4 p.m. and weekends anytime. As a caregiver, I enjoy fun interactions with kids such as playing games or being outdoors. I can guide creative projects, provide transportation, and take them to community outings. My caregiving style is engaged, responsive, calm, & Read more joyful. I am known for being reliable, providing excellent care, and tidying the house as we go.

Danielle is FANTASTIC! We can't thank her enough for watching our two kids, 2 1/2 and 6 months old. She's a pro, they loved her, and are already looking forward to having their new friend come back again soon. Danielle has an ease with kids that's really amazing, she's reliable, warm, engaging, and playful. This was our first experience with sitter city, and she was so patient with us in answering all of our questions. Thank you Danielle! :)
