About Dakota
Experience: 7 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
Hello! I just finished my first year of medical school at Chicago College of Osteopathic Medicine and I am looking to help families with date nights, dog sitting or walking, helping little ones get to school or anything in between! Before medical school, I was a sports medicine research assistant at a orthopedic hospital in New York City and am a class of 2019 Tufts University graduate. In addition to coaching lacrosse and ski racing teams for many years, I started babysitting during middle school after taking the American Red Cross course. I have helped many families on care. com last year and am happy to lend a hand wherever I am needed! I love all kinds of sports, pets, and any sci fi or comedy shows. Looking forward to helping out!

Dakota looked after our profoundly autistic son for the evening. She is trustworthy, smart, kind and patient. I have known her for years and I know she would be able to respond appropriately in an emergency. Which is one of the most important trait in a caregiver.
