Hi! My name is Daria. I truly have a heart for children and love being around them. I've gained experience babysitting my younger cousins over the years, and it's something I genuinely enjoy. I'm currently in college studying Health Service Management, with plans to go into accelerated nursing after earning my Bachelor's degree. My dream is to become a neonatal nurse so I can care for infants and support families during their most precious moments. I'm certified in CPR, First Aid, and AED, and I have my certification up to date. Overall, I'm patient, caring, and reliable, and I always try to bring positive energy wherever I go. I'd love the opportunity to help care for your little ones!
