Alana $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello Families! My name is Alana, and I have 12 years of experience caring for children, pets, and helping out around the house. My first nanny job was between freshman and sophomore year of college. What was only supposed to last for one week ended up turning into a full time summer job for the next 4 years. I loved the 2 little girls I cared for ages 4 and 5 and I grew very close to my family as well. They are now dear friends of mine and the oldest of the two is now practicing for her learners permit and her younger sister just made captain of her high school tennis team. After graduating from college with a bachelor's degree in abnormal and molecular psychology, I occasionally accepted a few short-term nanny jobs. Still, after working in my field of study for some time, I realized that moving towards nannying would be a refreshing change. One of the things I love most about caring for children is their raw honesty and excitement. Their thoughts and feelings come from the purest sincerity. Their excitement to tell you about something they experienced for the first time has a way of breathing a little bit of magic back into everyday life. As a child, I grew up in Italy and Scotland, I saw so many amazing things when I was little and I was always more than happy to share my experiences with everyone. I look forward to being the adult and listening to the stories and adventures of children now. It's fun! Along with children, I also love family pets. My family always had a dog and a cat. Currently, I have two black cats, one is a senior citizen, and the other is a 9 week old kitten. She is like a toddler that just learned to walk because she gets into everything.My old kitty is a saint for putting up with her wild antics.

"We absolutely LOVE Isa — our family was so fortunate to have found her through UrbanSitter. I'm a first-time mom, and it took me a long time to find a full-time nanny I could trust to care for our sweet infant boy. Our boy connected with her immediately, and we couldn't have asked for anyone else to care for him. Her calming presence was also perfect for parents like us who work from home. We feel so lucky UrbanSitter helped us find someone who has truly become a part of our family."

"I was so stressed about finding a part-time nanny for my 14-month-old son, who has moderate separation anxiety and hadn't been left with anyone but family before, but we were both immediately at ease in Buhay's presence. Her empathy and commitment to understanding child development are apparent in every interaction I've witnessed between her and my toddler. I feel very lucky to have found her."

photo of quoted parent Eric

"Erna watched our now 5 year old daughter and 3 year old son for a few years. She is punctual, responsible, honest, and playful. What we appreciated most was that she was thoughtful in ensuring that we had a little break; for example, when the kids were clingy, she was able to divert their attention with games or songs or walks to the park. We felt very comfortable leaving our kids with Erna because of her caring nature and experience that spans a decade (including being a live-in nanny)."
