About Alyssa

Hey! My name is Alyssa, but you may call me Ally. I've been in childcare for 7 years, and currently work during the week as a YWCA leader with kids age 4-13. As far as kids go, I've done it all: overnight care, summer nannying, preschool aide, and I was briefly a Colorguard coach.. I'm first aid & food handlers certified. I adore kids who know what they want and aren't afraid to ask for it. Energetic kids, rambunctious kids, "difficult" kids are my favorite kids to work with because there's nothing I appreciate more than a person with a strong sense of self. I'm huge on arts and crafts, cool & weird sciences, and I'm a big board game player! On my off time, I'm enjoy going on hikes, to art shows, and to museums, and I love the opportunity to inspire a love of history, art, and the outdoors in young people. Whether your kiddo enjoys a lot of structure to their day, or just needs a grown up to be around while they entertain themselves, I'm your girl. Happy Summer, y'all!
