My most recent nanny position was in Chicago, caring for one boy from age 5 months-17 months, from 2018-2019. I completed my Master's in Early Childhood Education in May 2018 and I have over 10 years of experience working with children from ages birth to 6 in home, school, and recreational settings. I have worked as a Kindergarten teacher, a preschool teacher's assistant, a nanny for three Chicago families, a day camp counselor for children with disabilities, and a childcare volunteer at a 24-hour crisis nursery. If you think I would be a good fit for your family, please reach out and I would be happy to answer any questions you have for me. ***Review from Care.com*** Dana has been an incredible addition to our family for almost a year and we are so sad to see her go due to her move out-of-state. When we were interviewing nannies for Read more our then infant, I experienced extreme anxiety about finding someone I could trust with our son while I was at work full-time. Dana immediately put me at ease. Her calm and gentle demeanor were the perfect match for our little guy. She is fun, caring, creative, energetic, smart and dependable. Our son loves her and is excited every morning when Dana walks in the door (always on time, but usually 5-10 minute early). Dana's education in early childhood education has also been a huge asset. Dana and I have daily conversations about my son's development and she does research on baby/toddler development specifically to understand and engage our son in the best way possible for him, individually. I am so grateful for Dana coming into our lives and making my transition back to work an easier and more enjoyable experience. Any family who hires Dana will be lucky to have such a warm and kind person as part of their family. - Kelsey S.

Dana has been with our family since December, when needed part-time care for our two daughters, then aged 3 months and 22 months. We selected Dana because of her passion for and experience with children and her calm and caring demeanor. Dana was eager to learn and followed our instructions closely and bonded well with both of our girls. She also juggled their sometimes-conflicting schedules with patience and grace. Dana is creative, trustworthy, loving, flexible and always on time, and provides a nurturing, stimulating and secure environment for our girls. I would recommend Dana without reservation!
