Experience: 10 yrs
I'm a mom of three beautiful adult daughters and have 2 grandsons ages 14 and 2. I'm active & engaged with both grandsons. My passion in life is children, I love spending time with kids and babies- seeing the world through their eyes. I enjoy helping kids learn new age appropriate skills and nothing brings me more joy than watching a child learn or experience something new for the first time! I've been with my current family since 10/2023; they are military and will be moving in June. During this time, I've cared for their almost 2-year-old since she was 4 months old and their newborn, born 12/24. My daily responsibilities include engaging with the children, completing educational and age appropriate activities, taking children to parks and activities, meal prep, laundry, errands for family, and caring for their two large dogs and cat.

Dana is currently employed by us -military family relocating June 25 Dana has been working for us since October 2023 when my baby was 4 months old. Dana is an integral part and perfect fit to our family. Not only were we first time parents, but new to the area and have no local family or friends, which was especially challenging. Dana swooped in and helped us with everything, from knowing what to expect with the baby to cooking us (and baby) dinner, cleaning the house, and handling our crazy pets. Dana is ALWAYS on time (at least 5 minutes early) and reliable, which in the current climate is hard to find. Dana has gone above and beyond for my family and is willing to drop anything to come help. For example, we were out of town and boarded our dogs but they ran out of food; Dana drove to our house, got them food and took it to the dogs. She loves our babies like they are her own. She has taught my daughter (and me) so much, helping her grow and learn. Dana is a catch!
