Hello there, thank you for viewing my profile, I’m Alana, 29 years old, currently living in San Rafael, CA. Below is an update on my recent experience and qualifications. After graduating from USF with a BA degree in psychology I have been working for the last 5 years as a special education teacher, direct support professional and disability advocate on the Mendocino coast. I also have worked as an ESL teacher abroad and have many years of childcare experience and have completed university coursework in early childhood education. I am currently back in school in San Francisco getting licensed in Cosmetology at the Cinta Aveda Institute. I am available to work on the days I am not in classes: Sundays, Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Looking for weekly or occasional gigs. I am a very active person and love taking hikes and walks in nature. Some of my passions include: yoga, nutrition, cooking, spending time by the ocean, and enjoying time with my family.
Hello! I love interacting and taking care of children. I have had experience taking care of my cousins and neighbors, along with helping raise my little sister. These few years, I got more experience by taking care my two little brothers too. I am really interested in child development. Therefore, I am taking class to understand better their development. I am currently a college student. On the lighter side, I love pets, dance, reading and outdoor activities. I'm looking forward to meeting you and your family!
Hello. I am an experienced babysitter/child-caregiver. I am 26 and grew up in San Rafael, Ca. Please read ahead for more information: I have experience from working as a babysitter in high school, and now continue to be able to work some evenings and days I have off from my other job. I previously worked at Opportunity for Indepence, as a direct support professional (Living Skills Instructor). As I mentioned, I have babysat for some families in my community and families I have met through UrbanSitter. I am supportive, creative, and responsible. I have learned to work in different environments and usually find it easy to learn and adapt quickly. I have many siblings and have learned patience through my experience of being with my siblings. The youngest one is 5 years and the oldest is 21 now. My brother is older! I also have volunteered with youth organizations such as, Boys and Girls Club of Marin and Opening the World. I am enthusiastic about learning new things and teaching, especially when it is focused on technology, literacy, and languages.

“I’m delighted to recommend Bella! Our 8 month old baby took to her immediately. He is going thru a lot of pain with teething right now and I was concerned about bringing in someone, but her calm and warm energy was exactly what baby needed. She also sent great updates and pictures throughout her time with him, and provided the most detailed notes of their time together that I’ve received from any sitter, which is especially helpful given that our little guy isn’t feeling well. She also cared for our and left the kitchen and play area clean and tidy! We are so grateful, big thank you Bella. We loo forward to your next visit! ”
