Hi there! I'm a Mom with two incredible kids! I have a passion for teaching and teach music therapy as well as I'm a sound bath practitioner, Reiki Master Teacher and meditation/Mantra practitioner and Massage therapist for the last 25years. I love helping parents adjust and feel that it's my job to create a holistic environment for children. I bring educational instruments and art projects and other materials with me every visit. I believe structure is really important for kids and in many of my jobs I take children for a morning walk and afternoon swim. I am currently training in somatics and baby sign language. I bring a wealth of experience creating a calm loving environment and enjoy cooking organic healthy meals for baby, I clean and stock bottles and laundry and try to set families up for an easy time. Please read my reviews! I have a passion for helping baby's form a strong healthy nervous system. I hope to hear from you soon! Thanks so much! Dana
Dana is truly an exceptional caregiver, and I cannot recommend her enough! We have been fortunate enough to have her care for our son since he was just 3 months old, and as a first-time parent, finding someone who makes you feel completely at ease leaving your baby in their care is priceless. Dana has the most beautiful, peaceful energy and a genuine gift for connecting with babies. She has a magic touch that is difficult to put into words. EVERY single time she comes over, our son greets her with the biggest ear-to-ear smile! He is always so happy and content in her care, enjoys wonderful, engaging playtime, and somehow manages to take the longest, most peaceful naps when she is with him. It is such a comforting feeling knowing that he is not only safe and well cared for but genuinely happy and thriving in her presence. What truly sets Dana apart is that she goes above and beyond traditional childcare. She brings an incredible variety of musical instruments to introduce babies to different sounds, rhythms, and sensory experiences. She incorporates sign language, breathwork, and developmentally appropriate activities into their time together, creating an environment that is both calming and enriching. She is so intentional with the way she interacts with babies, and it is clear that she genuinely loves what she does. She doesn’t simply watch your child; she engages with them, teaches them, nurtures their development, and makes every moment meaningful. As a first-time mom, I have learned so much from watching her interact with our son. Her patience, intuition, and gentle approach are remarkable. She has a way of understanding what babies need and responding to them with such warmth and confidence. There is something incredibly special about having someone in your home whose presence brings a sense of peace to both your baby and your entire family. Dana is so much more than a caregiver. She is someone who genuinely pours her heart into the children she cares for, and it shows in every interaction. We feel incredibly lucky to have found her, and I truly believe any family would be fortunate to have her in their child’s life. If you are looking for someone who will love, nurture, engage, and care for your baby with the same attention and tenderness you would, Dana is that person. She is one of a kind!
