About Desiree

Experience: 10 yrs

It is such a joy for me to be with children and families in that early formative time, helping children grow, play, and explore new things. I have worked with children and families for over 10 years as a nanny, social worker, mentor, and para-educator. Some of my most favorite times in my career so far have been as a nanny. During my time as a nanny, I enjoyed engaging infants, toddlers, and children in a variety of activities such as; reading daily, getting outside daily for a walk or visiting the park, playing my guitar, playing my flute, singing, talking and practicing vocabulary, swimming, sports, going to the library, museums, community centers, and art projects. I also like to set aside time to support families through light housekeeping and running errands so that the time that you have with your child(ren) is quality time. I am currently seeking a part-time position (preferably one or two days a week). My almost 2-year-old son will join us as a playmate while I care for your children. He is excellent with other kids and together we bring out the best in others. It is wonderful to have him around because he will encourage your child in how to be with other children, or my son can be like a big brother encouraging your child in their growth and development. Looking forward to meeting you!

Most recent review

Desiree cared for my twin boys (age 3 at the time) for over a year and did a wonderful job. She was unique from our previous nannies and sitters because she encouraged reading, arts and crafts projects, cooked with them and always had a creative and interesting activity ready to engage them with every day. She also took them to the pool, the library and parks and always had them actively engaged in an activity versus other nannies/sitters who would sit them in front of the television all day. Desiree was an asset to our family and will be to yours, too, if you hire her. She is a wonderful caregiver and friend. I highly recommend Desiree! You will not be disappointed!
