About Alana

Experience: 5 yrs

I'm passionate about nurturing children's growth and creating a safe, joyful space where they can thrive. With over five years of hands-on experience-from structured classrooms to dynamic camps-I've worked with children from infants to preteens, including groups of up to five. As a Teacher Assistant at Texas State's Child Development Center and a Youth Counselor with the YMCA, I've led educational and recreational activities, enforced safety protocols, and built strong, trusting relationships with both children and families. I believe in clear, respectful communication with parents and always follow your preferred method for updates and feedback. I'm confident in enforcing household rules consistently and kindly. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Business Management and bring a thoughtful mix of patience, creativity, and structure to every day. Whether we're exploring outside, reading books, building puzzles, or playing games, I'm here to support your child's development and happiness.

We are so grateful for the amazing care Alana provided for our little ones. From the moment we met, we felt completely at ease knowing our children would be in such capable hands. Alana is kind, patient, and truly attentive to our child's needs. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and will definitely be reaching out for future childcare needs!
