About Alissa

Current substitute teacher (DMPS and WDMCS) looking to stay busy over the summer! I prefer to work with school-aged children who are interested in spending time outdoors, having new experiences, and keeping active. I'm best suited to work with a family that has 1 or 2 parents working from home, who need 2-3 days per week with kiddos out of the house and out of their hair! When I'm not substitute teaching, you can find me occasionally working as a barista at a local shop, volunteering with the mentoring program Everybody Wins Iowa, or caring for my nieces and nephews. (I'm lovingly known as the "fun aunt".) My partner and I own over 50 acres of wooded recreation land west of the DSM area and spend much of our time hiking, riding ATV's, camping, and maintaining the land. As a public school employee working directly with children, I have had multiple extensive background checks. Im happy to provide both personal and professional references.
