A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Alison Masaquiza, I’m 23 years old and originally from Ecuador. My native language is Spanish, but I also speak English well. I’m a responsible, caring, and patient nanny with over 3 years of experience caring for children of different ages, especially babies and toddlers.

I currently work at the airport from 4:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., and I’m looking for an afternoon position (1:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m.) with a loving family. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, have a background in physical therapy, and understand child development deeply.

I have a valid driver’s license, my own car, and insurance, so I can pick up kids from school or take them to classes and activities. I’m known for being extremely punctual, organized, and committed to each family I work with.

✨ I’d love to help your family and be a meaningful part of your children’s growth and happiness.

"Alison no solo era una persona atenta y cuidadosa con mi hijo, sino también responsable y se adaptaba a cada situación, carácter y etapa en la que él se encontraba. Siempre estaba al tanto de sus cosas y se preocupaba mucho de su bienestar, y lo que me gustaba mucho de ella es que su trato hacia él era genuino y desprende la confianza de que realiza su trabajo porque realmente le gusta y no solo por hacerlo."

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

I have several years of experience caring for children of all ages, both in Ecuador and Chicago. I have particularly enjoyed working with newborns and toddlers, as I believe they require special attention, patience, and affection.

I have also worked as a full-time nanny, where I was responsible for daily activities such as feeding, hygiene, naps, and engaging children in educational and recreational activities. My background in physical therapy further enhanced my ability to support children in their physical and emotional development.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I enjoy a variety of activities with children that promote both fun and development. I especially like engaging in creative and physical activities that stimulate their motor and cognitive skills. These activities include dancing, crafts, and games that help them explore their creativity and build their coordination.

I prefer to keep children away from screens and instead focus on interactive activities such as going for walks, playing outside, and encouraging imaginative play. I love seeing children learn through hands-on experiences, whether it’s exploring nature, doing crafts, or dancing to music. These activities allow children to grow, learn, and have fun in a safe and engaging environment.

The most important part about being a nanny...

For me, the most important part about being a nanny is building a strong, trusting relationship with the children and their families. It's about being there not just to care for the child’s physical needs, but also to support their emotional and developmental growth. Every child is unique, and it’s my job to truly understand them, create a safe space where they can feel loved, and encourage their curiosity and creativity.

Being a nanny means being a role model, a guide, and a friend all at once. The little moments of connection, whether it’s sharing a laugh, comforting them when they’re feeling down, or celebrating their achievements, are what make this job so meaningful. At the end of the day, knowing that I’ve helped a child feel secure, happy, and supported is what truly matters the most to me.

My experience with special needs children...

I have experience caring for children with special needs, depending on the type of disability. This experience has been incredibly rewarding and has taught me to approach each child with patience, empathy, and adaptability. I understand that children with special needs require personalized care, and I’m committed to providing the best support for their physical, emotional, and developmental needs.

My background in physical therapy has been especially helpful in this area, as it allows me to provide basic therapy and exercises to help children with their motor skills and overall well-being. I have learned to adjust my approach based on each child's specific needs, ensuring they feel safe, supported, and encouraged. This experience has strengthened my ability to be compassionate and flexible in my care.

The most important part about being a nanny...

One of my favorite nanny moments happened when I was taking care of a toddler who had just started learning to walk. I remember the joy in their eyes when they took their first few steps on their own. It wasn’t just about the physical achievement—it was the trust and excitement we shared in that moment. As they took each step, I cheered them on, and they smiled with pride.

In that moment, I realized that being a nanny isn’t just about taking care of children physically, but also about being there to encourage, support, and celebrate their growth, no matter how small the milestone may seem. It’s those small, beautiful moments that remind me why I love what I do—seeing a child reach a new achievement, feeling proud, and knowing that I played a part in their journey.
