Nanny Alisha

10+ years experience

A little bit about me

Hi! I’m dependable, and experienced nanny with over 10 years of childcare experience. I truly love working with children and feel incredibly grateful to be someone families can trust with their little ones. I have experience caring for children from newborns through school age, including managing multiple children, creating routines, preparing meals, helping with household tasks, coordinating activities, and keeping busy family schedules running smoothly. I’m CPR certified, comfortable traveling with families, and I’m always happy to pitch in wherever I’m needed. My goal as a nanny is to create a safe, loving, and fun environment where children feel comfortable being themselves while encouraging their independence, creativity, and development. I believe in being patient, communicative, and consistent, and I value building a genuine relationship with both the children and their parents. I’m looking for a long-term, where I can become a trusted and dependable part of their household.

"Alisha was employed as a Young Toddler Teacher at Dearhaven Childcare and Learning Center in Lake Forest, IL. I was Alisha's supervisor and the director of the center. Alisha always arrived to work on time and came to work with a smile on her face. Alisha built strong partnerships with the parents and worked effectively with all team members. Alisha was often observed smiling and laughing alongside the children and cared deeply about each child in her care. Alisha was an effective multitasker and handled the many responsibilities of the role with success."
