About Desmin

Experience: 7 yrs

Nurturing young minds is a true passion of mine, and I'm driven to positively impact children's lives. For seven years, I've been a dedicated childcare provider, focusing on one child at a time to ensure personalized attention. My approach is patient, calm, creative, and friendly. I have some college experience, including Early Child Development Coursework, and I am comfortable with pets. I enjoy playing outdoor games, board games, and educational activities that make learning fun. I'm happy to follow your lead on household rules and will communicate daily updates using your preferred method, including written reports and quick chats at pickup. I am also CPR and First Aid trained. I'm happy to assist with light housekeeping, too. I have a car and am ready to bring my enthusiasm for childcare to your family.

Desmin is a great caregiver. Not only does she have years of experience and a background in childcare/child development but my children absolutely loved her. Unfortunately we moved out of the area, but if given the opportunity I would hire her again. She genuinely enjoys working with children and on top of that knows what she’s doing. Very gentle, kind, yet firm and knowledgeable. 10/10 recommend
