About Alena

I am a former elementary school teacher, located in West Midtown. I graduated from Marquette University with a double major in Elementary Education and Communication Studies. I was a first grade teacher for 6 years. I love working with children and have loved doing so from a young age. I began babysitting when I was 13 years old. In high school I was a nanny for 2 summers for a 6-month-old and a 2-year-old. During college I was also a nanny for a family with two girls (1 and 3 years old) in Whitefish Bay. I have also been a preschool camp counselor and have completed numerous field experiences among different grades (1st through 6th) in elementary schools around Milwaukee. All these experiences have taught me that no two children are the same. Each child is unique and my favorite part about working with children is getting to know them, their personality, and to watch them grow as individuals.
