About Dana

Experience: 8 yrs

Hello parents and caregivers, my name is Dana and I just graduated from the University at Albany with a bachelor's degree in Psychology and Human Development. While studying, I was also a member and captain of the field hockey team. I have always enjoyed working and interacting with kids and have gained numerous experiences in the last eight years both coaching and babysitting. Most recently I worked at an afterschool program in the Albany area where I was responsible for caring for 12 kids in the program. What I love most about working with kids is the positive impact you make on a child's life with just a little bit of love and patience. I am certain that my bubbly personality and natural ability to work with kids can be an asset to working parents or anyone looking to take a break from household duties. My hobbies include reading, travel, and playing field hockey!

Dana has cared for our 2 children for the last year and we could not be happier. She is trustworthy and has always kept our children safe. We cannot say enough about Dana, she has become part of the family. She is loving and patient, and very flexible as our schedule slightly changes each week. She is also very responsible, punctual person that follows schedules without any problem and who is always aware of the time for the different activities that she must do with the kids (lunch time, play time, nap time, virtual school & lessons). Your kids will be in great hands with her.
