Hi, I'm Diana! I am 22 years old. I know every family is different so I'm open to any kind of job, including infant to teen care, swim lessons, any housekeeping needs you have. I have been babysitting since I was 16 often responsible for preparing meals for my kids, keeping them entertained, doing homework with them, and taking them to after school activities however as far as my professional experience goes, I worked at my Church's daycare center since 2022 with children ranging from infancy to 6 years old. My main source of income currently comes from teaching swim lessons for students ages 2-18 and I also nannied for a family of two children ages 2 and 3 however I just recently moved and am looking for something a little more accessible. I have my CPR/AED certification as well as first aid certification that was issued in May of 2023. I'm outgoing and motivated and have always been great with kids, I would love to be a part of your family and help anyway I can.

We had the absolute pleasure of having Diana as our nanny, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! From the very beginning, she was incredibly engaging, taking the time to truly get to know our family and build a strong connection with our kids. Her warm and wonderful personality made her an instant favorite in our home. Diana is exceptionally interactive with children, always finding creative and fun ways to keep them engaged, learning, and entertained. She has a natural ability to connect with kids, making them feel comfortable and cared for at all times. What truly sets Diana apart is her unwavering willingness to support our family in any way she can. Whether it was helping with daily routines, offering extra support when needed, or simply being a dependable and positive presence, she went above and beyond every day. We highly recommend Diana to any family looking for a dedicated, caring, and truly exceptional nanny. She has made such a wonderful impact on our family, and we are so grateful for her time with us!

Trusting someone to babysit your kids can feel frightening! Picking the right sitter to watch your kids is very important. With many years experience, I am a great babysitter because I love to engage with kids and always keep them safe. My heart fills with joy when I’m around kids. At my previous part-time job, I worked with kids ages 3 mo. - 11 years old in the child center. I have most of my experience with ages 14 mo. - six years old. I have babysat as young as eight months to as old as twelve. I love to draw, play games, do puzzles, and all sorts of fun interactive activities to keep your kids entertained! I also have my certification in first aid, as well as CPR/AED. With a bachelors degree in psychology, and masters degree in teaching, I’m going into my 5th year of teaching. I currently teach 2nd grade, but I’ve also taught kindergarten, EIP, and have experience teaching ESOL. I can’t wait to get to know you and your family!
