About Dereka

Experience: 1 yr

Bringing joy and nurturing care to children is my passion. My previous babysitting experiences showed me the importance of supporting families, so I became a caregiver. I am patient, calm, friendly, and approachable. Parents' preferred communication methods are what I follow. I also follow the parents' lead when enforcing household rules. I enjoy playing board games, puzzles, and educational games, and I'm comfortable with technology-based games. With one year of experience, I'm comfortable caring for up to two children, ages 0-11. I have First Aid Training and CPR Training, plus Early Child Development Coursework. I'm happy to help with light housekeeping. I have a car and am comfortable with pets. I look forward to bringing my enthusiasm and skills to your family.

Dereka was fantastic! She arrived early and was calm and attentive with our 7 month-old twins. Twins are no easy task, but she handled them with patience and care. We would absolutely hire her again.
