A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Alana, and I’m a reliable, patient, and nurturing caregiver with a strong passion for working with children. I’m currently pursuing a career in special education and plan to earn my teaching degree, which reflects my deep interest in supporting children’s growth, learning, and emotional development.

I work full-time and attend school part-time, so I truly value structure, responsibility, and time management. My background in education has given me experience with child development, behavior support, and creating calm, supportive environments. I’m especially attentive, organized, and understanding, qualities that help children feel safe and confident.

In my free time, I enjoy reading, listening to music, and spending quality time with family. I would love the opportunity to provide dependable, compassionate care for your family and support your child’s unique needs in a positive and engaging way.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part about being a nanny is building trust. Children need to feel safe, understood, and supported, and parents need to feel confident that their child is in caring and capable hands. Creating a balance of structure, warmth, and fun while respecting the family’s values and routines is what truly makes a nanny successful.

My experience with special needs children...

My experience with special needs children comes from my work as an RBT in both school and clinic settings. I’ve supported children with autism and other developmental needs in building communication, social, behavioral, and daily living skills. I’m very comfortable implementing structured routines, using positive reinforcement, and staying patient and calm during challenging moments. Most importantly, I focus on meeting each child where they are and celebrating their progress, no matter how big or small.

The most important part about being a nanny...

My favorite nanny moments are the small but meaningful breakthroughs, like when a child masters a skill they’ve been working hard on or finally feels confident enough to try something new on their own.
