Calgary, AB

A little bit about me

I’m Lana! I’m a first-year student at Mount Royal and CPR/First Aid certified. I used to volunteer as a reading buddy at the Calgary Public Library, where I helped kids build confidence in reading, using my AP English background.

I’ve also cared for my younger sister from infancy to toddlerhood—she’s a picky eater, but I’ve always found creative ways to feed her (I’m also a great baker!). I’m patient, love engaging in all kinds of activities (even taught her checkers!), and always encourage kids to be kind and think from different perspectives.

I’m licensed to drive and have my own car. I live right off Centre Street, so inner-city locations work great! I’d love to help support your family and get to know your kids!
