Hello, my name is Alyssa, and I have over 10 years of experience working with children. I started volunteering at Community Christian Church when I was 15 and later worked as a lifeguard and swim instructor, primarily teaching younger children. I also received training in CPR and First Aid. For the past 5 years, I've worked in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) with children with special needs. I currently work full-time as a case manager and clinical supervisor while pursuing my goal of becoming a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA). I also have a bachelor's degree in Psychology from SJSU. I have extensive babysitting experience with infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. While I enjoy my career in ABA, I'm looking for additional babysitting and nannying opportunities to return to my roots in childcare. I'm patient, reliable, and comfortable adapting to different routines, developmental needs, and family preferences.
