About Darby
Experience: 14 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
I've dedicated 14 years to nurturing the growth of young minds as a childcare provider. My passion stems from a deep desire to positively shape children's lives, offering families reliable support. I'm known for my patient and calm demeanor, fostering a creative and friendly environment. Communication with parents is essential to me, so I adapt to their preferred methods to ensure any issues are addressed promptly. Enforcing household rules comes naturally to me, as I believe in a structured environment that promotes children's well-being. From outdoor adventures to educational games, I enjoy a wide range of activities that engage children's minds and bodies. With a graduate degree in somatic psychology and education in childhood development, I am equipped with theoretical knowledge and practical skills to build a safe container for play and care. I'm happy to assist with tasks like meal preparation, transportation, light housekeeping, and supervising swimming.

If you are looking for someone to help with your kids, Darby is amazing!! She worked for our family for over 5 years helping care for our son on weekends and some weeknights. She is kind, honest and brings a calming energy into the home. Our son adored her and we loved how she was present with him, engaged in his play and helped him work thru some tricky emotions. I highly recommend Darby.
