Alanna
Hello There! I feel that I could be a good fit for your family. I possess extensive experience that could align with your needs. As a mama to 6 homeschoolers( began when first daughter was 2), I currently work as an after school teacher, providing care and support primarily to ages 5-6, while extending services to a range of 4-11 years olds. I have previously operated my own home daycare, providing care to and for 0-10/11 year olds, mostly infants and toddlers, where I implemented my own curriculum and fostered an early educational foundation for the children in my care. I have worked as a lead and assistant teacher within licensed care facilities primarily for infant and toddler groups, and have been hired as curriculum and tutor support for children 3-13 years old. Additionally, I have worked with differently abled children (Autism Spectrum Disorder, Neurodivergent, Anxiety, ADD/ADHD, and Dyslexia). I have completed some ABA therapy coursework and have certifications regarding ABA, as well as other skills developed and needed as a care provider. I currently possess a successfully passed portable background check with DCYF ( Department of Children Youth and Families), as well as CPR and First Aid. Every quarter I take a class or two to enhance my knowledge and improve my abilities as a a care provider. I am extremely open to sharing with you all upon request. Please connect if you feel I could be the right fit for your family. I would love to extend my services to you. Thanks so much! All the best, Alanna M.

Hello! I’m new to the Seattle area! My family and I just moved here from Georgia. I’ve been a stay at home wife for almost 2 years now but I’ve had my fair share of experience with kids. I’ve babysit for friends and family most of my life. And I have an 11 year old step daughter! I love kids and I plan to have some of my own one day. I’m mainly looking for something part time due to my wife’s work schedule. I am CPR certified. So your kiddo is in safe hands at all times. I love nature and going for walks in the park and doing fun activities. I have 4 pets! A dog named Macy, two cats named ghost and oni, and a turtle named Tonisha! lol
