About Darlene

A mother of 2, very active grandmother of 5 (2 boys and 3 girls) ages 3-13 I have over 40 years experience caring for children. I also worked for over 10 years with special needs and deaf children. I retired 3 years ago so available 7 days/week. I believe in fostering a child's growth and making a positive impact on their lives. My calm and creative personality allows me to connect with children and create a fun and educational environment. I prioritize clear communication with parents, ensuring they are updated about their child's day and things that arise, comfortable enforcing household rules and comfortable with educational games to technology-based activities, I enjoy engaging children in a variety of play. With First Aid Training and Early Child Development coursework, I am well-equipped to provide a safe and nurturing care experience. I can also provide supervision during swimming activities. I look forward to the opportunity to support your family and help your child thrive.
