Hello! My name is Danika and I am a patient, kind, and reliable attendant to children and young adults with disabilities. My care experience is extensive. I worked as a babysitter, camp counselor, and educator all through high school. From 2016 through 2017 I worked as an in-home provider for the IHSS for a disabled adult, providing companionship, light cleaning, meal prep, and hygiene care. From 2017 through 2022, I worked in homes and in schools as a special education assistant and behavior therapist. I am currently a graduate student at for Occupational Therapy. I plan to work in pediatric occupational therapy following graduation. I have had positive, lasting professional relationships with people with disorders ranging from Spinal Muscular Atrophy, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Down Syndrom, ADHD, and deafness.

    Danika has been fabulous to work with! She has been the morning nanny for my daughter (22-month old) for over 4 months. She is very punctual and great about communication and very dependable! Danika finds new ways to keep my daughter engaged (music, imaginary play, etc) and very patient with her :)
