I am warm, charismatic, and deeply empathetic, with years of experience supporting families and children. Early in my career, I had the joy of working as a nanny for a wonderful family in Rome--still one of my most cherished roles. For the past 15 years, I've worked in the nonprofit sector, walking alongside families and helping connect them to vital resources like SNAP, utility assistance, and food programs. I am now returning to in-home caregiving because I truly value the connection and daily impact of working directly with children. I am calm, adaptable, and intentional about building trust from day one. I create safe, nurturing, and engaging environments, and I support children, including those with special needs, with patience, consistency, and genuine care.
Dana came into our lives during a particularly overwhelming and transitional time, and I can say without hesitation that she brought immediate stability, structure, and calm to our home. As a full-time working, single mother of three young children under the age of four, I was navigating an incredibly demanding season. Dana stepped in with confidence, warmth, and an exceptional ability to organize both our household and our routines. From the very beginning, she created consistency where there had been chaos. She helped my children learn emotional regulation, reinforced healthy routines, and brought a sense of predictability that allowed them to truly thrive. Just as importantly, she supported me—bringing calm, order, and reassurance into what often felt like an unmanageable environment. Dana is not only incredibly efficient and proactive, but also deeply nurturing. She kept our home organized, thoughtfully decluttered our spaces, and approached every day with intention and care. Her presence brought a sense of peace, joy, and stability to our family during a time when we needed it most. She is, quite simply, a force in the best possible way—capable, intuitive, and genuinely invested in the well-being of the children she cares for. Any family would be extraordinarily lucky to have Dana. If it were possible, I would bring her with me to Colorado without hesitation. I cannot recommend her highly enough, and I am confident she will bring the same light, structure, and love to her next family that she brought to ours.
