A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Alena, I’m 20 years old, and I’m a caring, outgoing, and reliable childcare provider with a certification from the Massachusetts Department of Early Education and Care (EEC). I currently work with children in a professional early education setting, where I’ve gained hands-on experience supporting kids’ learning, creativity, and emotional development. I have a very positive, energetic personality and genuinely love being around kids. I enjoy creating fun, engaging activities, making sure children feel safe, supported, and happy. I’m patient, attentive, and always focused on building strong, trusting relationships with both children and their families. I take a lot of pride in being responsible, organized, and dependable in everything I do. I understand how important it is for parents to feel comfortable and confident! I’m excited to connect with families and become a positive, supportive presence in your child’s life!
