About Dana

Experience: 4 yrs

Non smoker I am a career nanny w/ 4+ years of experience babysitting & nannying all ages, I can provide exceptional references along with my résumé. I am CPR and First Aid certified. I have a drivers license and clear record and am able to provide transportation in my own vehicle. Summary I love babies & kids they are little cute characters. I have worked with all ages from newborns to teens and multiples. I am very easy going, patient, loving and fair. Kids are just curious cats purely excited for life needing guidance and lots of love. Which ranges from homework, crafts, sensory , learning material, dinner/lunch. Love dogs, Im a dog mom & pt dog sitter ;) Being the oldest of 7 i've always been very responsible & have had children in my care since before I can remember. As an eldest sibling I understand that you want to feel secure in who you pick and what they stand for. I strive to help the parents and kids to ensure everyday that i'm around is a bit more stress free & fun !

I recently had the pleasure of having [babysitter's name] watch over my children—ages 2, 8, and 11—along with our very energetic 1-year-old dog. I am incredibly pleased with how everything went.From the moment my 2-year-old started calling her "Auntie," I knew we were in good hands. The bond she formed with my little one was heartwarming. My older kids were equally smitten; they hugged her tightly and didn't want to let go when it was time for her to leave.Seeing my children so happy and comfortable with someone new is a rare and beautiful thing. [Babysitter's name] managed to create a safe, fun, and loving environment for all of them, which speaks volumes about her character and capability. I highly recommend her to any family looking for a reliable and affectionate babysitter.
