About Alayna
Experience: 7 yrs
Hi families! I am a 22-year-old former athlete with lots of energy that will never get tired of entertaining your little ones:) I am finishing up my Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education/Leadership and am so excited to put it to more use through opening a home daycare one day I went from being a full time nanny to being a head preschool teacher. I started out as a full time infant care giver, then a 3s teacher and now am currently a head 2-year-old teacher. I am comfortable with all early childhood age groups and have a substantial amount of experience with them. I enjoy planning intentional activities , nurturing, implementing positive redirection, and jumping into play with children. Along with my love for children, I am skilled in helping your home run more efficiently, such as:cleaning, running errands, reorganizing, meal preparation and taking on tasks. My personal interests revolve around: animals, nature, creative writing, cooking 4 course meals, and reality tv!
Most recent review
Alayna has been an incredible caregiver to our two kids (now 3 and 6) for the past three years, both as the main classroom teacher for our youngest and as a weekend babysitter. She has taken extra care to get to know each of my kids and their specific interests. She is always very engaged — reading them books, researching topics that our son is interested in, playing outside, going on walks and coming up with new, creative activities for them (ones that hold the interest of both ages!) It’s always very clear what a difference having someone with an early childhood education background makes. Both kids are always excited when they know Alayna is babysitting — she is our favorite! She’s highly reliable, always on time, great with communication (sending updates and photos when we’re out) and we come home to happy, sleeping kids and a clean house. We are very lucky to have Alayna in our lives!
