Hello, my name is Darcy! As the eldest sibling and cousin in my family, caring for children has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I began babysitting at age 12 and have spent many years supporting children of all ages through both childcare and professional work. For the past 10 years, I have worked as a board-certified music therapist, helping children grow, learn, communicate, and build confidence in a variety of settings. I am also currently completing a graduate degree in Counseling Psychology, which has further strengthened my understanding of child development and emotional well-being. I have been described by the families I have worked with as a fun, creative, and energetic caregiver who loves arts and crafts, music, imaginative play, baking, games, and outdoor adventures. I enjoy finding activities that match each child's unique interests and needs, helping them be active, supported, and excited to learn and explore. My goal is to create a safe, nurturing, and fun environment where children feel engaged and parents feel confident that their children are in good hands. Please feel free to reach out and let me know how I can support your family!
