Hi there! My name is Dana Elka and I was born and raised in East Quogue. I have been in childcare since I was about 14 years old. I've worked as a nanny/babysitter for numerous families over the years and developed the greatest life-long relationships with them. I've also worked in child care centers as a teacher which I loved since I had spent a few years tutoring early childhood education as well. I have a bachelor's degree in speech communications (speech-language-pathology) from St Joseph’s College in NY and am starting graduate school in September. Feel free to reach out, I am looking forward to hearing from you :)
