Hello, A little about me: my name is Alana and I am 18 years old. I have my own transportation and also live in mystic.I have been my family’s babysitter for about 5 years now (since I was 12/13). I also worked at a daycare about a month ago with 1-3 year olds. I loved it. I decided to leave that job to start a CNA program but then my program got cancelled. So I’m currently looking for a some what long term child care position. Before I worked at the daycare I work at Groton pizza palace for over a year. I love kids and watching their personalities grow. I am an Aunt to 3 kids 2 boys and one girl (the youngest being 3). I also am an animal person to with having a few cats and a dog of my own. I would like to say that Read more I am an out doors person. I love to be outside. I like to hike, go swimming, garden, and go on long walks. I also am an artsy person. I wouldn’t say I’m good at it but it is something I enjoy doing. I am not up to date on CPR training seeming I last was trained about Two years ago. But I do know the basics and I do plan soon to get up to date.
