Welcome! My name is Dana! I started babysitting in 2006 (when I was 16 years old) because it gave me a way to do what I love; spend time with children. I am currently available mostly during the week (M-F) during normal "business hours" that parents find themselves working away from the home. I have my own, reliable transportation and am willing to travel approximately 20-30 miles to help your family out. I would love to have the opportunity to meet and get to know your family, and help you out!

We have a hard time leaving our kids with anyone, but we were at ease with Dana. She was great with the kids and even kept the house clean! She is very professional and always keeps good contact to be sure we still need her etc. We are looking forward to calling on her again!

Dana has been so great with my 3yr old son. He is so excited to spend time with her, and I would definitely recommend her. She's warm and affectionate, energetic, and professional. On time, and very flexible.

Dana is great! She's been sitting for us occassionally for the summer and my two young boys really like her. She gets down on the ground and plays with them and she gives them 100% of her attention. She is always on time and is usually able to stay a little late if I need her to. I highly recommend Dana!

Dana, I'm not sure what happened. It seems as though you shot a message back to me and then maybe blocked me from messaging back? I'm sorry if my message came across as rude or mean...that was NOT my intention at all. I DO want to work with you when you are available. Please message me your number, so I can reply with my number so as not to have them miscommunication happen again. I also have a few other dates I'm looking for care. Thanks Traci
