Your Story — Dani With Care
Most people settle for whoever is available.
A random app profile. Someone who showed up on time once. A teenager from down the street who seems fine.
And most of the time it works out okay.
But okay is not what you want when it is your child. Or your dog. Or both.
My name is Dani and I started Dani With Care because I kept seeing the same problem. Families juggling work, life, and everything in between, patching together care from people who were available but not actually qualified. Not actually invested. Not actually showing up the same way every single time.
I am a Registered Early Childhood Educator. I did not fall into childcare, I built a career around it. I studied it, I trained for it, I earned the designation. I understand child development, I know how to handle big feelings, challenging behaviors, and kids with additional needs. I do not just keep children safe, I actually engage with them in a way that matters.
And I have loved animals my entire life. I have a lab at home. Pet care is not a side hustle I added to make extra money. It is just as personal to me as the childcare side.
What makes Dani With Care different is simple. You get one person who is genuinely qualified, genuinely consistent, and genuinely cares about your family. Not a platform. Not a rotating roster. Me. Every time.
I am first aid and CPR certified, lifeguard certified, vaccinated, and I have passed a vulnerable sector background check. I communicate proactively, I keep routines, and I treat every child and every animal like they are my own responsibility.
Families who find me tend to stop looking.
That is the goal. That is Dani With Care.

What Families Say
Reviews from real parents
★★★★★
Danielle is the only sitter my daughter actually asks for by name. She's calm, creative, and knows exactly how to handle big emotions without making it worse. Worth every penny.
Sarah M.
Mom of two, North York
★★★★★
We hired Dani for our son who has ADHD and sensory sensitivities. She got him immediately — no learning curve. She's patient in a way that doesn't feel forced. We use her every week now.
David & Rachel K.
Parents of a 7-year-old, Thornhill
★★★★★
My dog can be anxious with new people. Dani had him relaxed within 20 minutes. She sends photos on every walk and always follows his routine exactly. I'd recommend her to anyone.

Q & A
Getting to know Dani
The moment a shy kid or a nervous dog finally relaxes with me. That trust is earned and it means everything. Whether it is a toddler who decides I am safe or a dog who loses their mind happy when I show up, that is why I do this.
I built my career around caring for children as a Registered Early Childhood Educator and have always loved animals just as much. Dani With Care came from wanting to offer families one person they could genuinely trust for both. Qualified, reliable, and actually invested in every family I work with.
I am a certified RECE with real credentials, first aid and CPR trained, and I have a lab at home so animals are part of my daily life. I am not just available, I am qualified, consistent, and I treat every child and pet like they genuinely matter. Families come back because they trust me, not just because I showed up.
I send photo and text updates throughout every booking whether it is a child or a pet in my care. Happy to do a video call introduction before our first session so families and their animals can meet me before committing. Communication is never an issue.
Fully vaccinated, practice strong hygiene before and during every booking, and will mask on request. I do not show up unwell and ask the same of families. Children and pets deserve a healthy environment and I take that seriously.
