Hi! My name is Desiree, I’m 24 years old! I’ve been babysitting for over 9 years. I truly love caring for kids and building lasting relationships with the families I work with. Through my schooling I’ve learned and understood the importance of being a consistent, safe, and positive presence in a child’s life and recognize the privilege it is to be able to watch and influence their growth. I have experience with children of all ages, from premature infants through the teen years. I’m comfortable adapting to each child’s unique needs and personality. I have experience working with twins. My background in education includes a Master’s in Early Childhood Education (with a credential), as well as a Bachelor’s in Deaf Studies with a minor in Early Childhood & Adolescent Development. I’m fluent in English, know sign language, and speak some Spanish, which has helped me connect with a wide range Read more of families and children. I’m reliable, attentive, and very hands-on. I love and understand the importance of engaging kids in developmentally appropriate activities. We’ve enjoyed going to the parks, visiting the library, and getting them out exploring in safe, enriching ways. I’m also happy to help out where needed—whether that’s running errands like groceries, helping with routines, or providing care in your home or mine. More than anything, I want families to feel comfortable and confident trusting me with their children. Many of the families I’ve worked with have stayed in my life long-term, which I value deeply! Please feel free to reach out with any questions/concerns. Thank you!
