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.

Booked by 19 families in Stinson Beach, CA

Hi! I have over 10 years of experience caring for children of all ages, from babies to teens. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Education and have worked as an elementary school teacher. I’m patient, responsible, and truly enjoy spending time with kids. I’m also comfortable driving and can help with pick-ups, drop-offs, and activities.

“Fernanda has been an amazing babysitter for our family. She is warm, dependable, and truly wonderful with children. Our 5-year-old connected with her immediately and is always excited when she comes over. She has such a calming presence, and bedtime always went much better when she was here. We also really appreciated that she speaks Spanish, since our child is currently learning the language. It was such a great opportunity for extra practice in a fun and comfortable environment. I would absolutely recommend her to any family looking for a caring, trustworthy, and attentive babysitter.”
