Hey, I’m Alana! I’m currently a college student looking into being a daycare provider. I have helped babysit my cousin, niece, my best friends sisters, as well as my nieces friends. I’ve always enjoyed kids and the thought of working with kids since I was younger. I also have a lot of experience with animals as I’ve lived on a farm from when I was born until I was thirteen and have had a number of pets- some unusual of my own before. I do not smoke and have my own car and valid license.

I am a dedicated childcare professional with experience from infancy through elementary school. My background includes working in daycare with infants, toddlers, and preschoolers, as well as completing internships in multiple elementary classrooms. I am currently in my student teaching placement, where I assist with instruction, classroom management, and individualized learning support. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education, and I apply my knowledge of child development, learning strategies, and safety practices to every caregiving setting. Families can expect reliability, clear communication, and a calm, supportive presence.

I currently care for a 1.5 year-old boy M-F from 7:30AM-1:30 PM. Looking for additional night and weekend hours! I recently served as a sitter for some local weekend wedding events and really enjoyed that, as well. My background: worked as a full-time nanny out of college for three years (earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Family Science from UMDCP). I then worked three years in the judicial branch and two years for a university and have been working in childcare again for almost a year now. Prior nanny experience: 1) a set of twin girls from four-months-old until they were past two-years old. 2) another set of twin girls from 9-months-old until they were past two years-old and they had a 2.5 year-old brother. 3) Full time with a 2.5 year-old boy and his 5 and 7-year-old siblings. I have additional summer and part-time experience: 1) with a set of twin boys from when they were 2 until 3 and their infant sister. 2) I worked a summer with a family with four kids ages 3-10 and also a summer for a family with three kids ages 3, 5, and 9. 3) I also have experience working. I have been baby-sitting for date nights, etc. on and off since I was 12-years-old. 4) and other occasional babysitting gigs from when I was in middle school on with kids newborn to thirteen years. I have certified in CPR and First Aid in the past on multiple occasions, but the most recent certification has lapsed - open to re-certifying for a family, who was willing to discuss cost-sharing a program. I like to help with laundry during naptimes and have experience with light housework - happy to help, but do not necessarily like it as an expectation. I have maintained dishes, vacuumed, cleaned the kids' bathrooms, changed sheets, walked and helped maintain dogs and pets. Thanks for considering my profile! I hope you find a great fit for your care needs.
