About Alana
Experience: 15 yrs
Nurturing children and watching them blossom has always been a true passion of mine. My 15 years of experience caring for children, along with my college degree and Early Child Development coursework, have equipped me with a comprehensive understanding of their needs. I am CPR and First Aid certified. Parents appreciate my patient, creative, and friendly demeanor. I enjoy playing outdoor sports, board games, and educational games. I'm comfortable enforcing household rules and happy to provide updates via text, phone, or in person - whatever works best for you. I am comfortable with pets and happy to assist with cooking, light housekeeping, travel, and swimming supervision. I speak English, Portuguese, and Spanish. I find immense joy in making a positive impact on a child's life and would love to bring my experience and enthusiasm to your family.
Most recent review
Alana is absolutely fantastic, very competent and trustworthy. We worked with her full time for a couple of months when my then almost 2-year old son had a gap in daycare after we moved. She not only was nurturing and playful with him, while focusing on age appropriate development, she also really helped with resetting his routine and hugely contributed to make him comfortable after the change of settings. I am so grateful she came in our lives at that time. She then helped us when my second one was born, competently handled the newborn and at times both the newborn and the then 2 year old toddler, giving me the peace of mind and comfort I needed to take some time to run errands and take care of myself. Alana is not only great and prepared with the children, but also very organized and proactive (invisibly helped with many kids related tasks like keeping toys and kids clothes clean and organized, providing healthy snacks to my son with what available in the kitchen, always leaving a pristine and clean environment). The boys love Alana and so do we.
