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."

"Throughout a few years, Ailyn was a dependable, caring, and responsible caregiver who became a trusted part of our family’s routine. During her time caring for my son, she prepared meals, cooked with him, helped keep our home organized, played and participated in activities with him, and provided companionship, encouragement, and support. She always made an effort to create fun and meaningful experiences while ensuring he was safe, cared for, and comfortable. What stood out most about her was her patience, kindness, and genuine interest in my son’s growth and happiness. She built a strong relationship with him and was someone we could count on. She was responsible, attentive, and always willing to go above and beyond to help. I would confidently recommend Ailyn to any family looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and dedicated caregiver. She has a natural ability to connect with children and create a positive, supportive environment for them."

"Lulu had great work ethic, positive energy, was promt and adored by our children. She was a babysitter to our two girls who were then 6 months and 4 years old and our son 6 years old. She worked part time for us when my wife and I were away for work. We were sorry to see her go when she moved cities but we highly recommend her as a sitter/Nanny."
