Hi! I’m Danielle. I’m certified in Anxiety Counseling and have been coaching kids and adults to incorporate wellness practices daily. I’m the proud author of the children’s book; Hugging Olivia. I’ve been providing childcare in the local DMV area since 2019 and have loved to see these little ones grow up.

“Danielle is extremely reliable, energetic and great with children. We had a great experience working with her - she is a great cook and was super sweet with my 2 year old son.”

I have loved caring for children for as long as I can remember, and with over 15 years of experience, supporting and nurturing kids has become a true passion of mine. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Public Health and have worked in a variety of healthcare settings, which has strengthened my ability to provide safe, attentive, and compassionate care. I am CPR and First Aid certified, as well as a Certified Medication Technician (CMT), giving families added confidence in my skills and reliability. I am dedicated to creating a positive, engaging environment where children can learn, grow, and feel supported. While I plan to further my education in the future, I am currently focused on doing what I love most working closely with children and being a dependable, caring presence in their lives.

I'm a current master's student studying medical sciences with plans to attend medical school next year. I've always loved working with kids and have several years of experience caring for and engaging with children of all ages. I've led youth ministry at my church, working with toddlers through preteens. This included creating fun and meaningful lessons, supervising during services, and supporting families. My relationships with families in the church have also led to trusted babysitting opportunities. Outside of church, I've volunteered with the Boys and Girls Club, primarily supporting elementary-aged children with science-related activities and after-school care. I come from a large extended family and as the eldest, l've naturally taken on the role of caregiver by providing safe, fun, and nurturing environments for younger family members. I'm known for being patient, dependable, and easy to talk to, and I genuinely enjoy building strong, positive connections with kids and their families.

“Very nice and professional. Arrived on time. Would definitely book her again.”

I've been working with children since I was 16, I'm 19 years old. At 16 I did small babysitting jobs and after school was a regular nanny to 2 kids, (3 and 4). I worked at a local daycare when I was 17 to 18. I helped looked after 11-16 children daily from the ages of newborns to 9 year olds. Now I'm an assistant teacher at a learning center/daycare, I take care of infants(newborn to 1 year olds) to 4 year olds. Usually assist take care of 16-23 two year olds, 6-13 three year olds and 9-15 four year olds daily. Children love me and I love them! I'm patient, love interacting and playing with children. I'm a clean person (will do light cleaning), I can food prep, make bottles, change diapers, assist with feeding etc. Can help with small learning skills, managing behavior and potty training. Good with nighttime routines and can read bedtime stories. I also have CPR, first aid and AED certifications.

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
