Hello family, As an educator, I have over 25 years of experience in childcare settings, including daycare and school-age programs. I enjoy working with children and supporting families in a dependable, hands-on way. Outside of raising my own children, I’ve also had a primary role in helping raise and care for numerous children both personally and professionally over the years. Multiples have been a big part of my experience. I have experience working with children of various ages, including toddlers, preschoolers, and school-age children. I’m comfortable supporting daily routines such as snacks, homework help, and bedtime structure, while also encouraging age-appropriate learning and play. I also value open communication with parents to ensure consistency and trust in the care provided. I take pride in creating a safe, supportive, and nurturing environment where children can thrive and families feel confident in their care. Hoping very much that we can connect! Thanks Read more for your consideration, Dana

My family interviewed Dana for a full time nanny position and found her to be kind, caring and engaging. We spoke to her references who had only wonderful things to say about her. Due to reasons unrelated to Dana, we didn't move forward with her but she would be a fantastic candidate for any family looking for a full time nanny with great experience and a strong track record.
