About Dakota
Experience: 10 yrs
I'm a passionate kindergarten teacher with 10 years of experience working with children and a Master of Arts in Teaching. Working with kids isn't just my career-it's something I genuinely love! I've had the opportunity to work with children with a wide range of personalities, learning styles, and needs. I'm patient, caring, dependable, and believe that children thrive when they feel safe, supported, and encouraged to be themselves. Whether you need a date-night sitter, weekend care, after-school help, or someone to keep your little one engaged and entertained, I'd love to help! As an experienced teacher, I'm also happy to incorporate reading, educational activities, crafts, outdoor play, and age-appropriate learning into our time together. Most importantly, I want your child to feel comfortable, happy, and cared for while you're away. I'd love the opportunity to get to know your family and become someone you can trust!
Most recent review
We are so fortunate to have had Dakota as our son's daycare teacher for almost two full years (age 12 months -35 months). Dakota is amazing with children. The most impressive thing about her is that she is always teaching while taking care of the children. Many caretakers just take care of children but do not focus on teaching them too. We credit Dakota for much of our son's foundation- his impressive vocabulary, counting skills, manners, etc. Dakota is a warm person who treats the children in her care like her own. She lights up a room with her smile and her personality. Children are drawn to her and it is easy to see why. Her impact on children is obvious. She plans creative lessons and her relationships with children fill her heart. Dakota makes everything fun and has given our son so many amazing memories. We are so thankful to her and cannot recommend her enough. We miss her, but will always keep in touch; she has made a lasting impression on our son and our family.
