About Alana

Experience: 6 yrs

Hi! My name is Laney, and I have been babysitting for 6 years. I am currently a student at Ball State University studying Speech-Language Pathology. I have experience working with children of all ages, including children with special needs, and I truly enjoy creating a safe, fun, and caring environment for kids. I am CPR and First Aid certified and also have CNA experience. I'm dependable, patient, organized, and have reliable transportation. I love working with kids because I want to make a positive impact through my future career, and I enjoy planning creative crafts and activities that keep children engaged and having fun. In my free time, I enjoy crafts, reading, walks, and going to the beach. One thing families should know about me is that I always go out of my way to make sure children feel safe, supported, entertained, and cared for.

Laney has been watching our boys for 3 years now, and we love her! She always comes prepared with toys and games for them and is very trustworthy and reliable. Her nursing background makes us extra comfortable as well, especially with a new baby girl as well.
