Hello everyone , My name is Alana b. I'm a mom who's worked in childcare for 9 years now . I got into the childcare business because I believe kids can learn something new and have fun doing it, I love kids and I love teaching kids . I use different techniques to teach them their letters, numbers, colors and shapes . One example is playing hungry hippos to teach math. I believe learning is suppose to be fun, It helps kids remember and become excited about their education. If i sound like a good fit for you and you family feel free to send me a message and i will tell you more about myself and my certifications thank you .

Did a very good job baby sitting our son. He had no issues when we were leaving the house and he was fast asleep by the time we got home. Alana was also early for the babysitting job so we were able to go over everything before we had to leave.

Alanna made a great first impression on me, both during her interview and during her first night watching my boys. I look forward to using her services regularly!

We just moved here from another country and we were very scared to hire someone we didn't knew! Alana calmed all my fears! She was great, sweet easy going and so happy to help us out!!! I super recommend her!!!!!!!!

Alana babysat my two boys and was great. She was enthusiastic and reliable. My toddler got injured just before she came over and we were considering canceling, but Alana assured us not to worry and she took good care of him. Having two children of her own similar in age and daycare experience, I am confident in her expertise and would hire her again.
