About Dianna
Experience: 10 yrs
I have two children. The youngest suffered seizures, (one at four years of age set him back developmentally to less than two years of age). I learned much from going to speech, physical and occupational therapy with him. Later I co-taught classes of 18 3- to 5-years-olds for six years. The past 11 years I have loved being a private nanny in 4 different households. Seven of the parents are medical professionals so my schedule was not "routine." I began as early as 6:30 and sometimes stayed past 11:00 p.m. , including weekends. I have no limits on the hours, or number or hours, I work each week. I strongly believe in being active with children--reading, playing, taking to the park, library or just outside. I was with my last family for 6 years until they moved in June 2024. I have gotten flu, RSV and COVID vaccinations within the last month.
Most recent review
Dianna has been the most amazing caregiver for our 6 month old. As new parents we feel so lucky to have found Dianna - she is experienced, patient, always on time, flexible, thoughtful. At every developmental stage she has encouraged our baby to meet milestones. She takes her on walks, takes her to the library, reads her books, plays music for her. She is very meticulous with her care - she changes her diapers frequently, changes her outfits if she drools on them, and notices small changes in our baby’s behavior day to day. She never loses patience with our little one even when she is fussy. We both work long hours and sometimes need to leave the house before 6:30a or come home after 5:30p. Dianna has always been flexible and understanding with our demanding work schedules. She is on time every morning. Dianna has made our experience has first time parents so smooth and worry free. We are so thankful for her and recommend her whole-heartedly!
