Hi, I’m Alaina! I’ve been caring for children for most of my life — starting with family and family friends at just 7 years old. Since then, I’ve worked four summers at a children’s camp and spent the past year in a daycare setting, first as an infant and toddler teacher, and then as a teacher for two- and three-year-olds. I have experience with children from newborns up to 13 years old. I’m CPR certified and First Aid trained, and I have a true passion for working with little ones. I love coming up with creative ways to support their development — whether through sensory activities, arts and crafts, or motor skill games. I always strive to create a fun, safe, and nurturing environment where kids can thrive. My caregiving style is calm, patient, and attentive, and I take pride in building strong, trusting relationships with both children and parents. Read more I’m currently available full-time Monday through Friday, with occasional weekend availability if needed. I’d love to support your family and help your child learn, play, and grow!
