About Dakota

Hello! My name is Dakota and I'm currently a college student at FSU. I'm home for the summer so I would love to help a family with child care for the time that I'm here! I've been caring for children since I was a teenager, starting with my four younger siblings. I've looked after them, took them to their sports and school activities, and much more my whole life. My upbringing gave me the experience of caring for children. I have five years of experience as a babysitter, and over the years, I've gained much experience caring for children with special needs and/or ADHD as well. This experience has taught me the importance of patience, understanding, and adaptability. I've also worked with kids with ages 1-15! While I respect and understand the importance of household rules, I believe in a gentle and nurturing approach when it comes to enforcing them. I'm not comfortable with harsh treatment when it comes to enforcing rules. :)
