About Darina
Experience: 6 yrs
I've always had an affinity for children and a natural knack for caring for them. With 5+ years of experience as a childcare provider, I've had the pleasure of nurturing and educating children of all ages. My friendly and approachable nature makes it easy for kids to warm up to me and feel comfortable in my care. When it comes to communicating with parents, I believe in regular updates, either via text or phone calls, whichever the parents prefer. I firmly believe in following the parents' lead when it comes to enforcing household rules, as I understand the importance of consistency in a child's upbringing. As for activities, I'm game for anything that brings joy to the children, as long as it's safe and approved by their parents. I'm always looking for ways to make their time with me fun and educational, if you are looking for an after school nanny or occasional babysitter feel free to reach out
Most recent review
100% fantastic! I can't say enough good things about Darina, but I'll say the top ones for my family: 1) Extremely reliable - she's always on time or early; very responsive on text/message/chat. 2) Able to enforce house rules even when my 6yo pushed back hard on her. She remains patient and calm but still gets her point across. 3) Fantastic at supporting my 6yo with homework - she supported him to think through the homework problems. She steered him away from rushing or giving up. 4) My son loved spending time with Darina - She's great at building complex legos, explaining math problems, helping with reading, playing games, being creative and keeping kids' attention. In addition, she's very energetic and keeps highly active kids engaged. 5) Supports healthy eating & habits - Darina did a great job guiding my 6yo to eat healthy food & clean up after himself. Overall, Darina is infinitely caring, supportive and capable!
