About Althea

Experience: 3 yrs

Hi, I'm Althea! Though I don't have paid babysitting experience, I've spent years caring for my five nephews and nieces (3 months to 10 years old). I love seeing kids engaged in studying, play, and outdoor fun rather than screens. I love helping them with their homework too! I am CPR-certified, patient, and nurturing, always showering children with love while setting healthy boundaries. I also worked in a neonatal intensive care unit as a human milk banker, providing breast milk for infants for a year-an experience that deepened my love for babies. I believe in gentle discipline, balancing fun with guidance to create a safe and engaging environment where kids can learn, grow, and thrive. If needed a break from kids you can drop off your child anytime too, we have a playground behind our building where we can play during the day. I know how tiring parenting could get I would love to help you just send me a message and we will discuss the details.
