Hello! My name is Alana, and I’d love the opportunity to support your family as a babysitter. I’ve grown up in a very close, loving family with both of my parents and an older brother. Being the oldest girl in my extended family, I naturally fell into the role of caring for younger children, especially my younger cousins. Over the years, I’ve been trusted with a lot of responsibility, and that’s helped shape me into someone who is patient, attentive, and nurturing. I’ve babysat for two other families with children under the age of 12, and I’m comfortable managing routines such as bedtime, meals, homework support, activities, and general supervision. One of my cousins is neurodiverse and on the autism spectrum, and I’ve also enjoyed working with other families who have children on the spectrum. These experiences have given me valuable insight into sensory needs, gentle communication, patience, and the importance of consistency. I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids, helping them feel safe, supported, and entertained. Whether it’s creative play, outdoor activities, or a quiet movie night, I’m happy to match the energy and preferences of your children. I know how much trust it takes to leave your children in someone else’s care, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. I will always treat your home, your rules, and, most importantly, your children with care, kindness, and respect. If you have any questions or specific routines you’d like me to follow, I’m more than happy to chat. I look forward to the chance to meet you and support your family! Warmly, Alana

Hello, fellow neighbours! I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself and share a little about my life with you all. I grew up with a brother and a sister, and as the oldest, I often joke that I was the "guinea pig" of the family, being the first child to navigate all of life's ups and downs. In 2021, I got married to a wonderful man, and I also have a wonderful daughter from a previous marriage who brings so much joy to my life. When it comes to hobbies, I’m all about the outdoors! I love camping, swimming, anything beach-related, and going on bush hikes. Some of my favorite camping spots include Yeppoon, where I snorkeled for the first time, and Lake Cootharaba, where I had a great time kayaking around the lake. Another memorable spot was Elliott Heads, where we stayed in an A-Van to see if we might want to buy one of our own. But more than anything, I cherish the quality time I get to spend with my family. We also have a special member of our family, a beautiful little cavoodle dog named Charlie. She’s more than just a pet—she’s a source of comfort and truly great for the soul. Since having my daughter, I decided to take a leap into a new career path, and I haven’t looked back since! I ventured into the field of early childhood education, and now, nearly 20 years later, I’m still passionate about working with children aged 1 to 5 years old. I hold a diploma in children's services, which has allowed me to share my knowledge and creative ideas with countless families and their little ones over the years. It’s been an incredibly rewarding journey, watching children grow and learn, and being a part of their early development has truly been a privilege. I’m excited to continue this journey and to bring my experience and passion to this wonderful community!
