About Dana

I was a volunteer at the ARC in Lakewood, NJ in 2000. I was a teacher's assistant at the Alpha School in Lakewood, NJ from 2001 ~ 2003 (summer job). I helped assist the teachers in caring and educating mentally disabled and Autistic children, ages 5 ~ 13. I was also a part time caregiver to a 13-year-old Autistic girl in Queens, NY from 2002 ~ 2005. I have 15 plus years experience caring for children, mentally disabled children and elders. I am looking for a part time job caring for children. I am very easy going, outgoing, kind and gentle, but can be firm when necessary. I also have a huge heart and love for animals. I am willing to help out as a dog walker or cat sitter. I grew up with a black lab, Great Pyrenees and two cats. (Many hamsters and fish as well.)
