A little bit about me

Children thrive when they are truly seen—not just observed. In their feelings, their fears, their joys, and the silent messages beneath their behavior. Emotional support, stability, and empathetic presence are the foundation of healthy development. Growing up with a single mother, I intimately understand what it means to need unwavering stability, and emotional presence in a world that often feels unpredictable. This personal history shaped my emotional intelligence and drives me to offer what I once longed for: calm, consistent, and deeply empathetic care that honors each child’s unique inner world. My dedication to understanding emotional development and the complexities of attachment guided me to earn a Youth Assistance Award for leadership. I was also accepted into a highly selective psychology academy affiliated with Columbia University, a program with an 18% acceptance rate. Choosing me means choosing a caregiver who combines thoughtful insight with genuine care.

"Aleesa is actually my online student. So she did not work for or with me. Aleesa would be a great asset to any employer specifically a babysitting environment. She is a very responsible, respectful and conscientious student. I see these traits as her asset and will carry over into any position she applies for. Feel free to contact me for any other matter."

The most important part about being a nanny...

To me, the most important part of being a nanny is understanding that you’re not just filling time — you’re shaping a child’s emotional world. It’s not just about keeping them safe or entertained, it’s about how they feel in your presence. Children are deeply intuitive; they pick up on energy, tone, patience, and intention. So being a nanny means showing up consistently with emotional steadiness, respect, and attunement — because those small, everyday interactions become part of their sense of security and self-worth

Intellectually, it also means recognizing that every behavior has a reason, and it’s our job to respond with curiosity, not control. Whether they’re expressing joy, frustration, or fear, I see those moments as opportunities to help them understand their emotions, develop language for their inner world, and learn how to relate to others with kindness and confidence.

The most important part about being a nanny...

My favorite nanny moment was when a quiet, shy child I cared for surprised me by opening up and turning a simple game into a joyful dance party. That breakthrough—watching their laughter fill the room and feeling their trust grow—reminded me how powerful consistent presence, empathy, and a little playfulness can be in helping a child feel truly safe and confident. Moments like these show me that nurturing emotional growth is just as important as physical care, and they’re the reason I love this work.
