**Available daytime on Mon + Tues + Thurs + Friday** Hi there! My name is Dia Dearstyne. My husband and I just moved to Poughkeepsie in August from Tucson, AZ because we both love the Hudson Valley! I am a yoga teacher and modern dancer, he is a photographer and rock climber. I have over 15 years of sitting and nanny experience, the bulk of which comes from my time in Brooklyn. I ranged from part-time to full-time caretaker over for my 8 years living there. During that time period I took care of infants to elementary aged children in one on one settings as well as playgroups of up to six children at a time. I still have very good relationships with the families of children who outgrew my services and keep in touch with some until this day! References easily available upon request. I love bringing kids to Read more parks, libraries and museums, and reading books and having daily dance parties in the living room! I am a professional dancer and a YRT certified yoga teacher. www.diadearstyneyoga.com I am looking for part time sitting work as I continue to teach yoga in the Hudson Valley.
