About Alanna

Experience: 10 yrs

I am currently a nanny during the week and have years of experience caring for babies and children. Offer my love and excitement about learning and reaching milestones. I have accumulated expertise in many disciplines. I have taken courses in child development and family counseling. I am not an expert but believe it gives me an edge: able to reflect and offer possible solutions, improves communication skills, and gives me patience seeing the child as a child that needs encouragement to grow. I have 2 adult children and they trained me well to care for yours. I love the outdoors especially hiking and kayaking. Enjoy creative expression in art and dance. I enjoy tutoring math and science and reading books to children. Nursery caregiver 2 years, Township of Washington, NJ Leader Youth Group 6 years, including games, teaching, transportation Girl Scout leader with nature teaching certificates Camp counselor- taught swimming, nature and canoeing 2 years with current family.

Alanna is the best nanny that we could have asked for our baby girl, who is now a toddler. She has been with us for 6months+ and has cared for our girl like her own. Alanna is very patient, kind and goes out of her way to make sure the child gets great learning and development experiences. She plays with our kid outdoors, does art & crafts projects, reads her books, teaches her alphabets/numbers/colors, plays music and dances with her, among so many other things. She is genuinely interested in her well-being and development. My kid absolutely adores Alanna and so does she. Due to change in our child care needs we would only need her part time, it was a tough decision but happy that my kid would still get to see her.
