A little bit about me

Hi!
I am a certified teacher (preK-12 Special Education & Math) currently staying at home with my children (3y and 4m). I am a nurturing, reliable, and responsible care provider with advanced education in child development. Currently I can offer a spot to 1 child in my home alongside my children.

I follow a "common sense" attachment-theory-style caregiving philosophy. I always offer comfort and physical proximity as needed, believe in strong boundaries for safe/unsafe behaviors caringly and calmly enforced, and encourage independence. I believe in nature's positive impact on children's growth and development, so we spend as much time outside as possible both in our fenced in yard and at local parks.

In addition to teaching special education and technology integration for 9 years, I have provided respite care for families, and have spent quite a bit of time caring for my sister's children as well as my own.

I look forward to learning how I can meet your family's needs!

Alaysha F. - Seeking Work in Pittsburgh

Babysitter Available in Pittsburgh, PA: Alaysha F.

Hi! I’m Alaysha!

I’m 22 years old and I live in the Greater Pittsburgh area. I am actively pursuing a degree in psychology, criminology, and creative writing (with a passion to pursue a career in childcare and community development).

As the eldest daughter in my family, I’ve been caring for children from a young age, with lots of experience of taking care of littles from when I was as young as fourteen years old, but I also have three years of experience in established professional childcare centers. Through my experience, I learned to support children’s growth in a safe, engaging, and nurturing environment.

I’m passionate about creativity and love encouraging children to explore their imagination whether through art, storytelling, or learning new skills. As someone who is also an artist and writer, I enjoy bringing creativity into everyday activities.

I believe in helping children build confidence, stay curious, and feel empowered to pursue their interests and dreams!
