About Alyssa

Experience: 10 yrs

Caring for kids has always come naturally to me-and after 10 years of working with children from newborns to preteens, I still find joy in every stage! With a Master's Degree in Social Work and a deep passion for child development, I love creating fun, imaginative, and nurturing environments where little ones can learn and thrive. I'm all about blending creativity with calm energy-whether we're building blanket forts, tackling homework, or sticking to bedtime routines. I'm great at following household rules, and I always keep the lines of communication open with parents, using whatever method you prefer. I'm certified in First Aid and CPR, have a reliable car for pick-ups and drop-offs, and I'm comfortable caring for up to 4 kiddos at once (furry pets included!). I'm excited to bring my experience, warmth, and steady presence to your family.

Alyssa was a great asset to our family. She watched our almost 4 year old son and 10 month old daughter, who could be a handful at times. She was great with the kids and always on time and reliable. She always responded to my texts promptly and let me know her schedule in advance. She is also experienced and educated regarding childcare. I would highly recommend Alyssa. Our family decided to go with a full time nanny, otherwise we would have kept her. We will miss having her!
