About Alison

Experience: 7 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

I am looking for a part time position taking care of 1 to 3 kids from ages 3 to 12 years. Most recently I have worked as a Nanny for families whose parents either worked from home or had an outside position. I have spent many years working with children including working as a preschool teacher taking care of kids from 1 to 5 in groups of 12 to 20 for 4 and a half years. Before I became a teacher I worked as a caretaker for several families with kids aged infancy to 10. I am also a parent of 2 adults who seem pretty well adjusted. As a caretaker I have the ability to adapt and listen as well as to react accordingly in any situation. At the jobs I've held, I was considered patient, nurturing as well as protective. Along with my work as a nanny, I am an artist which I use to create a space for helping a child's mind grow and develop. I believe everyday is a day to learn: from working on reading to exploring the world around us. I look forward to working with you and your kids!

Alison is an excellent nanny and babysitter. She's been a wonderful support to our family throughout the last few years. She's dependable, responsible, and flexible. She's very sweet with our children often doing crafts and our children adore her. She is quick to respond and very easy to work with. We appreciate her!
