About Me
My name is Danielle and I have over 10 years of early childhood experience. I currently am a nanny and an independent consultant with The Pampered Chef. These allow me to spend my days with my son and watch him grow and develop and now build WILDtoCHILD!
I have a Bachelor's Degree in Early Childhood Education with a minor in Professional Studies and an area of concentration in Deaf Education. I am currently working toward attaining my master's degree in Speech Language Pathology in hopes to become a speech therapist for young children.
I have always had a passion for children and began babysitting around the age of 13. In 2007, I began my career in the early childhood field working as an assistant teacher at a preschool where I had the opportunity to work in all the classrooms (infants and before/after school care) and two months before graduating with my degree, I was offered a position as Lead Infant Room teacher which I gladly accepted.
After several years of teaching infants, I became a Head Start teacher, which was by far the most challenging, yet most rewarding, job I have ever had. My classroom was full of children between the ages of 3-5 in low-income families, many who had experienced far more than any child should at their ages. It was during my time here that many of the things I will be talking about through my blogs were really tested and proven to work.
Now that I am a mom myself, I decided it was time to share my experiences and advice with the public. Over the years, I have been asked for my thoughts and advice on various early childhood topics from such an array of people and I become so passionate on talking about such topics, that I felt it would be unfair to not share with all of you now that I have the time to devote to this. So, thank you for reading and please be sure to contact me anytime!
