About Dana
Experience: 6 yrs
Hello, my name is Dana. I have a BA in English from Arizona State University. I am CPR certified, as well as dog and cat first aid certified. I am proficient in household cleaning, as well as cooking. I have had much personal experience with dogs and cats of all breed and personalities. I am the eldest of my two sisters and eight younger cousins and I have a 6-month-old niece-taking care of babies and children has always been a part of my life. Before my resignation, I worked at Starbucks as a barista and barista trainer. Staying clean and organized during chaos is one of my biggest strengths, as well as having a sharp memory and great people skills. In my free time, I love to play with my cats, Frankie and Carol, take my family's dog, Sandy, out to the park, read and write literary fiction, and volunteer at different organizations. I have a California state drivers license with a perfect record.
Most recent review
As a full-time working, new mom who agonizes over time apart from her daughter, finding care that feels both trustworthy and responsive is everything to me. I recommend Dana with genuine enthusiasm. It’s not just that she’s sharp, attentive, and empathetic — she’s a true natural with kids. Her intuition about what my baby needs is truly impressive. She picked up on my baby’s cues right away and eased my heart by proving time and time again that my daughter’s needs were always her priority. Beyond that, Dana consistently goes above and beyond to create meaningful experiences for my daughter. She doesn’t just look after her — she engages her, encourages her growth, and makes every day special. I don’t know if I’ll ever get over leaving my baby to work, but having Dana makes it so much more bearable. I know my daughter is with someone who truly sees her and responds to her needs with empathy and care. I love her and I know you will too.
