About Lana

Experience: 10 yrs

I am 37 years old and I have worked at a daycare center working with 2-year-olds as well as interning at a head start with children 3 to 5 years old. 2 years ago, I began working with a family with their 10-week-old child, who is now 2 years old. I love kids and I have helped many family members raise their kids including my aunt's youngest, now 16; my cousin's youngest, now 11; and my baby brother, now 9. Kids are just so fun to take care of and I learn something from them every time. To me a child is a real blessing and to take care of them is a way to help them live life the best they can.

We have been beyond blessed to have Lana as our nanny for the past two years. She began caring for our daughter since she was just 3 months old, and now that our little one is 2 years old, it’s incredible to see how much she has grown and learned under Lana’s guidance. From the very beginning, Lana has treated our daughter as if she were her own. She is patient, nurturing, and endlessly attentive. Over time, she has truly become part of our family. As working parents, there is nothing more comforting than knowing your child is safe, happy, and deeply cared for—and that is exactly what Lana has given us. Lana has also played a huge role in our daughter’s overall development. She has taught her counting, the alphabet, songs, sign language, and so many other foundational skills that have helped her thrive. We are constantly amazed at the new things our daughter knows, and so much of that is thanks to Lana’s dedication, creativity, and commitment to early learning. Any family would be incredibly lucky to have her caring for their children. I wholeheartedly recommend Lana to anyone looking for exceptional childcare.
