About Dereka

Nurturing a child's natural curiosity and watching them reach new milestones is my greatest professional joy. With nine years of experience supporting families, I bring a patient, creative, and approachable presence to your home. My background includes a college degree with extensive coursework in Early Childhood Education, alongside my Child Development Associate (CDA) credential and status as a Certified Teacher. I maintain current CPR Training and First Aid certifications to ensure a safe environment. Whether we are playing outdoor sports, solving puzzles, or engaging in educational games, I tailor my approach to your child's unique needs. I follow your lead on household rules and provide updates through your preferred communication method. I am deeply committed to fostering your child's growth and development every single day. I truly look forward to becoming a trusted, reliable partner in your family's life.
