I like to think of myself as a baby tutor-transforming everyday routines into rich learning experiences. I support infant and child development by weaving early literacy, shapes, colors, ASL, and themed exploration into daily life, helping children reach milestones with confidence and curiosity. From getting ready for the day to scavenger-hunt learning on walks, I focus on building independence, self-regulation, and a strong sense of mastery ("I can do this"). Dependable, proactive, and highly adaptable, I contribute to a calm, organized household while thoughtfully supporting each child's growth.

Very passionate and knowledgeable about childcare. She was playful with my baby. Responded quickly to messages.

Darian has been our nanny for the past 6 months and has taken excellent care of our 10 month old. She is loving, interacts well with our child, plays music, plays with toys, takes our child to the park and more. 

I know our child loves Darian too because when she arrives, she gets a big smile on her face.

Darian has lots of experience nannying for children of all ages and it shows in the way she cares for our child. I highly recommend Darian as a Nanny!

I had the pleasure of interviewing Darian for a nanny position for my newborn son. She was very responsive when I initially reached out to her, even double checking with me when I forgot to respond. When I interviewed her she was very easy to talk to and clearly has a way with babies, she has much more knowledge about them than I do! She instantly made me feel comfortable and I would have loved to hire her but the hours that I needed her did not match with her schedule. I had such a positive experience with Darian that after her interview I wanted to make sure to write a review so that someone else will be lucky enough to have her! 

Darian is a true blessing.  She has cared for my baby from 6 months to 13 months and it truly breaks my heart to be moving on.  My baby is in better hands with her than with me, her mother!  She knows just what to do to sooth her and put her down to nap and to discipline her when necessary.  She has much more experience than I do with babies and has been a resource to me with all matters of child caring.  She even goes to the store and buys organic baby food and purees the food to feed my baby!  She sings to her, plays with her, teaches her sign language, cuts her nails, I could go on and on.  I would recommend her to anyone who wants the best for their child.  This woman is amazing.

I had the pleasure to interview Darian for a part time Infant Care Provider position that I had. I would have hired her, but Darian is looking for a long term position, which I'm currently not offering. Below is the list of why I would hire her. 

-Personality - Darian has great personality; upbeat and pleasant. She spoke really well and is very reassuring. I'm sure the kids would have a great time with her.

-Experience - when I asked her about her previous experience, I was impressed. She has experience with infants and up. She helped first time parents by creating a schedule for the babies. She gave me examples of activities that are age appropriate for my baby. 

- Thorough - She made it a point to completely understand what the job entails and what other details comes with it. She asked questions and made sure we both understood each other. 

I felt like she is genuinely a good person. :)

We have had several nannies over the course of our 4 children's lives. Darian was on time, ready to help where needed, had fun with 4 kids ages 6 to newborn. Kept the house picked up and became a part of our family. We completely trust her and would love to still call her our nanny if she didn't live far away. :) miss you D!  

If you are reading this review because you are thinking of hiring Darian as your nanny, let me save you some time. Stop reading. Hire her. And whatever you were thinking of paying her- double it. 

Darian and I met, by chance. She and I crossed paths at a restaurant, when I was having lunch with my family, and my newborn son. She was sweet, warm, and showed a genuine interest in my baby. Lucky for me she was looking for another nanny position, and I had to seriously think about getting back to work. My husband and I run a real estate team, and though there was never any doubt that I would return to our business, we weren't quite sure what we would do about childcare; until we met Darian. 

We interviewed her several times before offering her the position. She was educated, level headed, intelligent and kind. She was wise beyond her years and genuinely interested in the growth and well-being of our son. 

From the day we hired Darian, we knew we made the right choice. She proved again and again to be the composed, quick thinking, good hearted person we hoped she would be. She was good at following instruction, but also had great instincts. She was extremely in tuned to what we needed, often helping with things around the house before we even asked. 

As important and helpful as it was that Darian keep up on the household tasks, that wasn't where she really shined. Darian, as it turned out, was excellent under pressure. If our son was sick with a fever or cold, or choked on a piece of food, or fell and bumped his head, (all VERY normal things, but terrifying for the 1st time parents of an infant,) Darian was cool, calm and collected. There was never a time that I worried if my son was home with her. Not. Ever. She responded appropriately to every situation. She always knew what to do. I cannot begin to express what a comfort that was to me. Knowing my son was safe, and well cared for, allowed me to focus on my job. If I worried even for a second while I was away, I wouldn't have been effective. I would have been a basket case, actually. But because Darian was so very good at her job, it gave me the ability to be good at mine. 

As my son grew, Darian's education and training played an integral part in his development. She is an AMAZING teacher. He is now 2, and what he knows about colors, shapes, letters and numbers is on par with a child years older than he is. I would LOVE to take credit for that, but it was Darian. She taught him problem solving skills, critical thinking, manners and gratitude, and every bit of it was intentional, with purpose. I find I do a lot of parenting on the fly, but not her. There was a reason and a purpose for everything she did. 

Darian, quite simply, is amazing. There is a real void in our home, because she is gone. She was so much more than our nanny. We loved her, all three of us. And if you chose to invite her into your home, your family and your life, I simply cannot tell you how lucky you are. She truly is special.
