My name is Alana, and I graduated from high school and I'm currently in college. I have a passion for working with children and am excited to create meaningful experiences with new families. I've gained valuable childcare experience by babysitting my younger cousins and other families, aged 4 months to 14. This has taught me how to handle different age groups with care and understanding. I am drawn to the energy and curiosity children bring, making each day fun and rewarding. In my free time, I enjoy baking, cooking, and DIY projects for my pets and family. I bring high energy, patience, and strong multitasking skills to my work. I'm skilled at meal preparation and maintaining a clean, organized space. Additionally, I am a non-smoker, have reliable transportation, and am CPR certified. My priority is always creating a safe, nurturing environment for children. I look forward to the opportunity to work with your family and contribute to your children's growth and happiness.

Alana was prompt and communicative in setting up babysitting for my newborn. However, it was either a bad day for a colicky baby or lack of experience on Alana's part. The baby cried for hours straight. Alana was unable to settle her or feed her. Although my husband was open to rehiring her to give her another chance and to teach her better, I was too worried to give it another shot and went with a post partum doula (twice as expensive) instead.
