Hi there! I go by Alyssa. I am a very experienced, enthusiastic, and passionate nanny. I have been one since age 14 with many different family situations and children of all ages, including newborns. I can work long hours or part-time as I have an open schedule. I am very flexible to anyone's needs, be it day or overnight. I often am capable of avoiding having kids use screens. I prefer to actually engage the children, play, do crafts, set up age-appropriate activities, help with milestones, and do educational activities. I like field trips if allowed, like to the library or the zoo. I am very open to anything a family wants. I am fantastic at sticking to routines as well. I have experience and can help potty train, sleep train, and get children on a regular schedule. I always ensure things are lighthearted and fun. I am First Aid, CPR/AED certified, have my own car with a clean record. I love pets if you have them. Message me if you think we could be a match to set up a call!
Alyssa watched my two kids aged 6 and 8 after school for several weeks while our usual sitter was away. She assisted with pickup from school, homework, meals, and driving them to activities, as well as pet care. She was incredibly diligent, and in frequent communication to make sure that she understood our instructions correctly. We also had a few unexpected situations come up, like my daughter staying home sick from school, and she was flexible on providing extra hours. Our kids loved Alyssa and I would highly recommend her.
