Dana was excellent when she watched my 6 week old daughter!! I needed to sleep without interruption and Dana was there to help my baby while I was sleeping. She specializes in infants and knows how to care and connect with them so quickly! My baby was well-rested the next day and so happy after being with Dana! I highly recommend her to care for your infants and young children!

Dana was prompt and always kept open communication! We enjoyed having her at our event for our little ones. She fit right in with our guests, and was able to keep a good eye on the kiddos whilst the event was underway. Thank you Dana! And we will definitely be hiring her services again in the future!

Dana is great with our 7 month old baby girl! Our little one took to her right away with no problems at all the very first meeting, which definitely put me at ease. Dana is always on time and I appreciate her so much because she has to get there very early in the morning. She sends updates and pictures which I love, because as a parent it is so hard to leave your little one. Knowing my baby girl is with Dana puts my mind at ease and I know our baby girl is safe and well taken care of. Would definitely recommend her!

Dana has now babysat for our family twice and is wonderful with our toddler son. She is warm, calm and consistent- wonderful qualities in a babysitter and person. The second time she babysat for us she was running late due to heavy rain and LA traffic and she was very communicative regarding the delay. We will definitely continue to ask her to sit for future date nights and only hope she doesn't get snatched up by too many other families!

Dana was literally a lifesaver. She made herself available on a very short notice and arrived promptly. Our daughter said she had a very good time with Dana and would love to have her as a nanny again. We will definitely be hiring her again!
