A little bit about me

My name is Alyssa! I graduated from Bridgewater College with a Bachelor's in Health and Exercise Science and a minor in Psychology. For the past 4 years I have worked two jobs, that allow the opportunity to work with a variety of ages (elementary and high school). I work in a high school as a special education assistant and as a recreation aid with an after school program with the City of Harrisonburg's Parks and Rec. I am wanting to broaden my opportunities and reach out to personalize my experiences by working with families. I have grown up around children my entire life, as I have younger siblings and my mother and I have worked in a daycare for several years in the past. I also worked for 3 years in the toddler room at my local church! A couple of my hobbies include being in nature, arts and crafts, Disney movies, and hanging out with kiddos!

More About Me

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

I have been working in a high school with the special education program and with the Harrisonburg Parks and Rec after school program since Nov. 2020. I grew up doing small babysitting jobs for family friends and their friends. I assisted in working in an in-home daycare for several years.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I enjoy sports, being outside, puzzles and legos, arts and crafts, and playing games that they like to play.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important thing about being a nanny includes a few things, first is that the child and parent(s) feel safe with you taking care of their child. The child feeling comfortable around you and being able to be themselves around you. Children are so pure and we should do our best to give them opportunities of joy and knowledge.

My experience with special needs children...

For the past 4 years, I have worked as a special education teaching aid with RCPS. I have helped with canteen events for the City of Harrisonburg, which is geared towards individuals with special needs. A close relative I had growing up had cerebral palsy for 17 years and I lived around and helped others with her care for several years and learned from her mom and nurses.

The most important part about being a nanny...

I love when the kids get that moment of pure joy and understanding of something they are learning or something that they enjoy doing.

Hi! My name is Zoe, and I’m a junior at JMU studying Elementary Education. I absolutely love working with children and appreciate every opportunity to help them learn, grow, and have fun!

I have experience babysitting for two families, working with children ranging from toddlers under 4 to children ages 6–10. Through these experiences, I’ve enjoyed creating fun activities, helping with routines, and making sure the children I care for feel safe, comfortable, and supported.

At JMU, I’m also involved in the education community and serve on the executive board of an education honor society. My experiences both in and outside of the classroom have strengthened my passion for working with children and pursuing a career in education.

Outside of school, I love reading, watching movies, and spending time with my friends. I’m excited to meet new families and provide a fun, caring, and dependable babysitting experience!
