My Summary
About Me
Dear Parents,
Hi my name is Alanah, I'm a positive, energetic, fun; nurturing, and caring individual. I'm a mum to a bubbly 6-year-old, I really enjoy and love being a mum. Aside from my work experience, watching my son's growth throughout the current stages has enabled me to gain an in-depth understanding of child development and children's needs. Having my own child has taught me to become even more patient and open to researching various ways and strategies to teach him and encourage him to reach his full potential. I find it very rewarding to look after children and be a part of their developmental journey. I have cared for many children over the years; I have also assisted my family and friends with looking after their children between the ages of 0- 18years old. I think it's very important for children to experience a fun, loving childhood as well as them understanding boundaries that are age appropriate.
