Experience: 10 yrs
Hello! My name is Al'leesha, and I've been dedicated to childcare for 10+ years, supporting children and families with a blend of compassion, structure, and professional expertise. I am currently a Mental Health Counselor, and I specialize in social-emotional development, behavior support, and helping children feel seen, safe, and understood. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Psychology. Throughout my career, I've worked in classrooms, homes, after-school programs, and therapeutic settings-giving me a deep understanding of how to meet children exactly where they are. What truly fuels me is my passion for working with kids. I love creating nurturing, fun, and emotionally supportive environments where children can learn, grow, and express themselves confidently. Families describe me as patient, reliable, intuitive, and someone who genuinely cares about their child's well-being and development.
Our daughter loves Al'lesha. We're sad to see her go as we welcome an Au pair to our family, but hope we can continue to see her. She was flexible, responsive to our daughter, and easy to communicate with by phone, text or in-person. Al'lesha provided full-time care: made our daughter great meals, did laundry and clean up, and kept our daughter engaged both outside and inside the house with walks, reading and playtime.
