About Darlene

I am a nurturing, patient, and dependable caregiver with lifelong experience raising and supporting children. As a mother of two adult daughters-both college graduates-and an actively involved grandmother to my 5-month-old granddaughter, I bring decades of hands on experience caring for children from infancy through adolescence. I frequently care for my granddaughter, giving me current, practical experience. I spent over 20 years working in the corporate world, supporting executives and managing complex operations in fast paced environments. I was recently laid off and made the intentional decision to pursue a career change that aligns more closely with what I truly enjoy: caring for children, supporting families, and creating a warm, structured environment where kids feel safe and happy. I understand the importance of routines, developmental milestones, and positive reinforcement. I take pride in being reliable, communicative, and fully present with the children I care for.
