Hi! My name is Dana Weinberg. I am a graduate student at NYU receiving a Master of Science in Communicative Science and Disorders to become a speech-language pathologist. I have been babysitting for years and have worked with kids of all ages especially with infants and toddlers. I am currently looking for a part-time job about ten hours a week. I have experience with babysitting multiple children at a time, shuttling kids to a from activities, light house keeping, bath time, bed time and preparing meals for children. I also have experience with bottles, diapers, keeping a feeding and napping schedule, and much more. I am also comfortable with pets.

I also spent three summers working as a shadow for kids with special needs at a day camp and I ran a soccer and basketball program for kids with special needs for a number of years.

This review is so late but well deserved. Dana came to our rescue last summer after several disappointing and concerning babysitters for our small son. From the beginning the baby was very comfortable with her. She was relaxed, pleasant sweet to him overall. I felt completely safe when he was with her and relaxed. She was completely trustworthy. I knew she would never hit Joseph or harm him. That was so huge because we were nervous. She was flexible to. We just really liked her and she was super mature. In her downtime she would be study. The TV was never blasting. She was patient and I give her 5 stars. She is coming to help us a bit over the holidays which we are super happy about. She is finishing her studies in Delaware and we will be sorry to see her move on to her career but it was great having her when we could.
