Hi! My name is Dasha, and I’m a recent college graduate with a degree in Business Management. I have hands-on experience caring for children through both my previous work as a Teaching Assistant and as a nanny. As a Teaching Assistant at Valley Learning Center, I worked closely with children and families, helped create a safe and positive environment, supported children with different needs, and regularly communicated with parents and teachers about their child’s day and progress. More recently, I had the opportunity to work as a live-in nanny for a family while they were out of town, caring for their 3-year-old son from morning to bedtime. I was responsible for waking him up, preparing meals, getting him ready and driving him to daycare, picking him up, playing with him, keeping him on his routine, and putting him to bed, as well as helping keep the home tidy. I’m responsible, patient, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with children and getting to know their individual personalities. I’m comfortable taking initiative and handling routines independently while making sure children feel safe, cared for, and engaged. I’m also fluent in Russian in addition to English.

My career life for the past 6 years has been different avenues of childcare. The avenues I followed were, Daycare worker, before and after school care. Many different roads, but they all have a common interest CHILDREN. I wanted to nurture and teach young children. At the age of eighteen, I liked the idea of playing all day and getting paid for it. I have been working in early childhood education for the past five years, primarily with children aged 3 month to 7 years. During this time, I have gained valuable experience in creating engaging and educational activities for children. believe my patience, creativity, and strong understanding of child development make me a good nanny. I'm also adaptable and can effectively communicate with both children and parents.

I raised 5 of my own children, 4 boys and 1 daughter, from birth to adulthood. I also have 2 granddaughters 5 and 7 years old. I have lots of patience, tons of energy for many activities children love to do, and a lot of love and caring to give. Children are such a blessing and a great joy. I will always carry out your wishes for your family because you have sacrificed, and your role and wishes are very important. I do really love animals, and I have cared for two dogs, cats, rabbits, and birds, that were part of my family. If someone asked me what I would do, if their child did not do as they were asked while I was caring for them on a babysitting job, I would tell them… I would like to have had a conversation with the parents before they left their children in my care, as to how they wanted me to handle that situation. I would like to follow what the parents wishes are, because you cannot make a child do anything. although you can make the parents happy by following their wishes. I have had two previous jobs working with seniors in the past. The first one was mostly companionship, but I also cooked, took her to appointments and to run errands, we would also go walking for a little exercise, and to keep her agile and able to have balance and strength. She had great stories that I would listen to, and we would connect over them… she was a great lady. The second job was working with a gentleman who needed driving to appointments, grocery stores and to the gym. He had macular degeneration so he could see, but not enough to drive. I was very patient and understanding with him, as he did suffer from some age related dementia (he was in his early 90s). I would help him with household cleaning, chores and companionship, he liked to share his life over lunch that I would prepare for him. I also helped him with his finances and writing checks to pay his bills. He was very spunky and entertaining, and he liked to talk about his life when his wife was still alive.
