About Alyssa

I'd describe my personality as warm, outgoing, and caring. My favorite part about working with kids is being able to build connections with them and watch them grow. I'm looking for a job that has flexible hours. I am currently in graduate school with most of my classes taking place at night. I will be unavailable two days out of the week due to a program commitment, but I would love to find a family that I could consistently be with 2-3 days out of the week. My days may be flexible depending on the hours! I started working with kids while I was still a student at Penn State. After graduating college with a degree in Psychology, I decided to take a gap year to figure out what my next steps were. I started working at the MCIU in the early intervention program and have been in this role for the last two years. In my spare time I like to read, spend time with friends and family, and exercise. Recently, I have picked up crocheting and am branching out to other crafting activities!
