About Dana

I'm an experienced caregiver with over 10 years of teaching experience & a background in swim coaching & lifeguarding. I'm organized, patient, & attentive to detail. I love creating fun, safe, & engaging experiences for kids. I'd describe my personality as patient, warm, caring. I like working with kids because they bring so much energy, curiosity, & honesty to every day. I'm looking for a position that fits well with my active lifestyle & love for staying busy and engaged. I first started working with kids as a swim instructor. That experience led me to become a swim coach, then a classroom teacher, & eventually a nanny / family assistant. In my spare time, I enjoy staying active through fitness, spending time outdoors, & winding down with a good book. I take pride in building trusting, lasting relationships & truly enjoy becoming a dependable & supportive part of the family's daily life. Patience & empathy Active listening & communication Creativity & engagement
