Hi, I’m Dinusha. I’m offering child care and senior care. I love being a babysitter and have been watching newborn baby, infant, toddler and kids since 2019. My responsibilities have feeding, reading books, playing. I have been caring my own grandma, she is dementia patient I take care of her since 2015. And I’m comfortable with senior care also. I can cook drive to the appointments and go to grocery shopping with them and spending time with them (reading, singing, dancing) Thank you
I am a 32-year-old Colombian woman with 5 years of experience as an occupational therapist, and over 6 years of experience caring for children in various capacities since arriving in the United States in 2017, including Aupair experience. I worked hands-on with children and built adaptive skills, critical thinking, and a problem-solving orientation to help children thrive and gain independence. I take a detail-oriented, charismatic, and respectful approach to my work. I operate with care, compassion, and kindness. I have been around the same American families over the years, I aim to bring my patient, nurturing, and engaging care to another family in my spare time. I aim to promote the learning and growth of children through enjoyable activities that align with a family’s needs and preferences. Building an environment of trust and affection is my top priority. Please feel free to reach out to discuss any specific questions.
