About Danna

Experience: 10 yrs

I am a full-time teacher with 29 years experience teaching elementary school within a public school setting. As a nurturing and experienced educator with decades of experience, I'm passionate about fostering children's growth and making a positive impact on their lives. My background includes a BA and MA in Education, and I've completed coursework in early child development. My teaching certificate includes an endorsement for Special Education and I am currently working as an Autism Strategist in an elementary school in Reno. I'm certified in CPR and First Aid. My approach to childcare is centered around patience, creativity, and open communication. I believe in creating a safe and nurturing environment where children can learn, play, and grow. I can also offer tutoring services if needed. I enjoy playing a variety of games with children, including outdoor sports and physical games, board games and puzzles, and educational games that promote learning.

Danna quickly established a connection with my kids, played several games the kids wanted, they loved having her and are looking forward to the next time.
