A little bit about me

Hi families! I’m Alyssa, I live in Westbrook, I’m 23 and have been a nanny for twins for the past 3 and a half years since they were 6 months old. In August my nanny family will be moving out of state and I am looking to find my next long term, full time family.
In addition to my last three years nannying, I have experience as a paraprofessional in an elementary school, and previous to that I have a a few years of experience as a camp counselor and lifeguard. Additionally my family has been doing foster care for the past 12 years so I have gained a lot of experience with children of all ages throughout my time helping raise all the babies who have been through my home.
As a nanny I offer a similar experience to a home daycare, but from the comfort of your own home. I love creating structured days for children, coming up with creative activities to help children reach milestones and overcome obstacles.
Please reach out if you’re looking for long term childcare in the shoreline area.

More About Me

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

I am a trained paraprofessional and have worked with children at various stages of development. I have lots of experience with nonverbal children and provide many different services from help with basic hygiene, academics, communication, to behavioral and emotional guidance.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Development focused activities, music and movement, exploring outside, crafts, reading, water play, sensory activities, and dramatic play.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part about being a nanny is keeping the kids safe. Not only physically safe, but emotionally safe as well. Maintaining a calm environment in which children feel cared for enough to learn, grow, take risks, make mistakes, and ask questions.

My experience with special needs children...

I have most of my experience working with children with Autism, and Down syndrome. Lots of training with nonverbal children and children with behavioral challenges.

The most important part about being a nanny...

One of my favorite nanny moments was raising caterpillars into butterflies with my three year olds. I loved not only watching them learn all about the life cycle, but I especially loved when the first one came out of chrysalis, and you could feel the excitement in the air. There was screaming, running, laughing and jumping up and down. I’ll never forget the smiles on their faces.
