About Dara

Hello! My name is Dara and I'd love to be your new family's new go-to babysitter or nanny! I am currently a full time nanny who focuses on nurturing a child's individual needs and personality to drive healthy balances between exploring creative areas of interest, involving educational activities, and free time based on parental discretion. I am looking to help out your family and cater to your needs to the best of my ability. I'm heavy on crafts with kids and adapting activities based on age, skills, and attention spans; however, I never neglect the time for kids to burn energy playing outside, I constantly encourage brain stimulating activities (such as reading and puzzles), and I focus on involving kids in their meal preparations and other routine activities. I am CPR certified, first aid trained, and have completed MO HS Child Development courses I and II. I also have experience with children with various cognitive abilities and needs.
