Meet Dana
From a young age I have always gravitated towards children. My mother is a Speech Language Pathologist so I grew up around all the toys and a playful and caring environment. First I worked at a camp as a CIT. From ages 16-20 I worked at X-treme gym in the day care center. During the summer I work as a lifeguard and run an arts and crafts facility at the pool club that I lifeguard at. I have been doing individual babysitting since I can remember. Currently I am in graduate school pursuing my masters degree in speech language pathology so that I can work and help children communicate and express themselves more efficiently. I am also certified in CPR and first aid. I am responsible, caring, fun and efficient. I love to engage in activities with children and am willing to help out in anyway I can.
