Hi! My name is Despina, and I have over six years of hands-on childcare experience caring for my two cousins, including one who is diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Through this experience, I’ve developed strong patience, adaptability, and the ability to create a structured yet fun environment tailored to each child’s unique needs. I love staying active and keeping kids engaged through crafts, creative activities, outdoor play, and trying new things together. As a Resident Assistant (RA) in college, I planned and hosted engaging events, which strengthened my leadership, organization, and creativity skills, all of which I bring into my childcare approach. I’m bilingual in Greek and English and currently learning Spanish, and I’m happy to help with tutoring or homework support. I can cook simple, healthy meals, I love pets (as I have my own little pooch named Cecil), and I’m a safe, responsible driver with reliable transportation. Read more I am BLS Certified and prioritize safety while making sure kids feel comfortable, supported, and excited about their time with me. I truly enjoy building meaningful connections with the families I work with and creating a positive, nurturing environment where children can thrive. I would love the opportunity to support your Buffalo family!
