Damali $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Damali, and caring for children has been one of the most rewarding parts of my life. I have experience working with children of all ages in a variety of settings, including as a private nanny, an early childhood educator, a dance instructor, and a summer camp leader. For a year, I had the privilege of supporting a single mother by providing dependable, compassionate childcare and creating a safe, loving environment where her child could thrive. I've also worked in early childhood education at Brightside Academy, where I partnered with teachers to support children's learning, social development, and emotional well-being while maintaining strong communication with parents. One of my greatest passions is using creativity to help children grow. As a Dance Instructor and Event Coordinator with the YMCA, I taught dance to children of all age groups and coordinated large performances that brought together multiple grade levels. Those experiences taught me how to build confidence, encourage teamwork, celebrate each child's unique personality, and create an environment where every child felt included and valued. Families often describe me as patient, dependable, nurturing, and positive. I genuinely enjoy helping children learn, explore, and build confidence while ensuring they feel safe, respected, and cared for. Whether we're reading books, dancing, completing homework, exploring creative activities, or simply sharing laughs throughout the day, my goal is to create meaningful experiences that support both the child and the entire family. I would be honored to care for your little ones and become someone your family can trust and depend on.
