About Laura

HI! My preferred name is Alena and I am completing my 30th year this April. I was adopted when I was 3 and credit my love for children and childhood experiences to my first early childhood educators in the U. S. The adults and role models in a child's earliest years shapes them for the rest of their lives into who they become. Children look up to confident, kind, intelligent, patient, and loving caretakers. I am all of those things, and more. I am also educated & experienced. I currently work as an early head start teacher in the Midwest caring for 8 children total to a room full of infants/toddlers with my co-teacher. I have over 10 years experience in a child care setting. Parents are the experts on their children, so I make sure to have a trusting relationship & bond with the parents I work alongside. - "Alena"
