About Alana

Hello!! Firstly, my availability is not accurate since it is very tedious to change it and I made a mistake when I initially set up my account. For one-time jobs, I can do Thursdays and the weekends. I do have prior weekend commitments so I am not available ALL weekends in May and June. I am a NYS certified teacher (Birth through Grade 6) and I am currently a UPK 4K teacher. I started working with kids when I was 12 years old through volunteering at a summer day camp. I am interested in supporting pre-literacy and fine motor skills for students ages 3. 5-5 and handwriting improvement (neatness and/or stamina) for kindergarten and above. Fine motor skills include learning how to use scissors, glue sticks, manipulating small items (counters, buttons, capping markers, etc), and strengthening hand muscles to support drawing and pre writing.
