I'm a Certified Baby Nurse/Nanny with infant and adult CPR certification as well as a few certifications in CDA. I also promote infant massage. I have experience with ages newborn- 10 years old. I work with age appropriate games and toys while concentrating on fine and gross motor skills. Read books, change diapers, go on strolls, listen to tranquil sounds daily, sing, dance and much more!

Darlene is so sweet. My daughter absolutely loves her. She always has the biggest smile and is great at communication.

I can't say enough about what an amazing and wonderful nanny Darlene was for our son. She saved our butts when it didn't work out with our first nanny and we feel so fortunate she came into our lives when she did. Darlene is an absolute ray of sunshine and all of us (our dog included) looked forward to her walking through the door each day. My son started daycare and we miss her terribly. The bond she and my son had was so special, she'll always be a part of our family! If you're looking for care, look no further than Darlene!

Darlene cared for my 2 month old newborn with so much care and kindness. She was attentive, warm, and handled him with a level of care that put me at ease right away. Her energy is inviting and right away, I felt like my baby was in safe care. She did tummy time, feedings, swaddling, and light baby laundry and did a fantastic job.

She comes highly recommended by my family.

Oh, Darlene!!! She is just wonderful. My husband and I needed a part time nanny to come to our home to watch our 4 month old since we were back to work and she was incredibly easygoing and flexible. Our little girl had really bad stranger anxiety, even with our parents, so we were nervous to have a nanny but our little girl loved Darlene immediately and rarely cried in her care! Darlene is upbeat during playtime and calm when it's nap time. I could never get my daughter to sleep in my arms and our little girl would just get so cozy in her arms. Darlene was truly a part of our family for the two months we used her. If we could, we would have her full time and not use day care!!! She's just absolutely wonderful and I recommend her x1000! I can't wait to use Darlene for baby sitter gigs in the future because she was just so loved by our little girl!

Darlene has been wonderful with our infant daughter. She is very experienced and so kind. She always brings a ton of energy and empathy to make her smile and laugh and also soothe her when she is fussy. She has been very reliable for us and even available on short notice. Would definitely recommend to others without hesitation.

I needed last minute childcare for my nine month old son and Darlene saved the day! From the moment she arrived at my home she was engaged, energetic and had great instincts on where everything was so I really didn't have to spend a lot of time showing her around. She jumped right in which allowed me to fully concentrate on work. She was very playful with my son and they had a great time together. I definitely recommend Darlene, she is awesome!!

Darlene was an awesome caregiver.  She communicated clearly with me while she was en route to my place. When she arrived, she was energetic and kind, and instantly warmed up to my infant.  Before I left, my baby was already asleep in Darlene's arms.  She is so experienced in newborn care and so flexible! I forgot my bottle warmer but Darlene knew exactly how to prepare the baby's breast milk regardless.  She sent a photo update while I was at work, which was so reassuring.  She was patient when I was running behind getting home due to traffic.  She will be my first call anytime I need someone I can trust to look after my daughter in C.!

She was very warm, attentive and thoughtful in watching my son. He enjoyed the time with her.

I interviewed Ms. Darlene. Upon speaking with her, she was so warm and inviting. Speaking with her reminded me of talking with family. The only reason I could not book her was due to location. However, she was really accommodating but the distance traveled ended up being too much for both parties. Really really sweet caregiver!!!
