About Dorthea

Experience: 3 yrs

Hey there! I'm Dori, a 22-year-old from Hinsdale, IL, with over five years of childcare experience. I've found tremendous joy in creating safe, fun, and nurturing environments that support children's growth and learning. I believe in the importance of imagination, especially during childhood. I love organizing a variety of activities like reading and drawing that limit screen time, though I do enjoy the occasional movie as well! Communication and responsibility are key aspects of my approach. I prioritize respecting and enforcing parents' rules while ensuring a positive and enjoyable atmosphere. I love all animals and have two dogs at home! I am more than willing to help out around the house and care for pets as well. I have experience caring for up to three children of all ages above 2 years old, including toddlers, preschoolers, and school-aged kids. I'm eager to meet you and your little ones and contribute positively to their development and well-being!

Dorthea is amazing! She’s wonderful with kids. Very engaging and playful. She was available last minute and showed up early. I immediately was put at ease when I met Dori. She’s kind hearted and responsible. I have already hired Dori back again.
