Experience: 10 yrs
I am passionate about creating a fun, creative and engaged environment for kiddos to explore and express themselves freely, while simultaneously creating clear structure and safety. I have multiple years (10+) of childcare experience in a variety of settings. I have worked with all ages ranging from 1yrs old to teenagers. I also enjoy doing light house cleaning, housesitting/pet care, so I am very comfortable with animals and various household tasks. I hold a bachelors degree in Psychology from Sonoma State University, with the long term goal of becoming a therapist. I'm very responsible, emotionally attuned, warm, kind, passionate, energetic and value direct communication. I am a certified Wilderness First Responder, which means that I am certified in First Aid and CPR. My current availability is Monday, Wednesdays and Thursdays, with flexible hours on any of those given days.
We were so lucky to have Alissa watch our son for over 3 months. She’s was the exact kind of person we were looking for: warm, kind and calm. She connected with him and helped him explore the world safely. She was prompt, communicative and clear. Cant say enough. Shes a great hire and an even better human.
