A little bit about me

I am a retired social worker with 18 years experience as a child care teacher, play therapist, substitute teacher on all levels from preschool through senior high school, a child protection caseworker and several administrative positions. I hold a Masters degree with high honors focused on non-abused and abused children. I prefer direct work with children as I enjoy stimulating their development, having fun with them and presenting fun activities that can be done at home.

More About Me

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

Preschool teacher for 16 years in CA, TX, OR mostly in anti-poverty programs and San Francisco School District.

Also in Cherry Creek, Adams County 14, Adams County 50 Schools for 7 years.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I enjoy doing arts and crafts and have a lot of ideas to share. I also like reading to and with them, especially folk tales, playing outside games, hiking, exploring, planting food or flowers with them, encouraging silliness.

The most important part about being a nanny...

I become attached to the children I work with and love being part of their lives. As I get to know them, I find great personalities in formation and encourage verbal and intellectual development through play. I am always concerned with their safety and set reasonable limits.

My experience with special needs children...

I have worked directly with preschoolers, middle school students and high school students with special needs for several years. I have also been a social worker in a program with special needs classes, so I know how to write and follow IEP's. I try to meet each child where he/she is and and meet their needs.

The most important part about being a nanny...

I worked with one seriously disturbed child who was pre verbal. I loved it the day she admitted that I was upset with her "because D threw sand in people's eyes." The first admission that her behavior had consequences. I also had a lot of nice warm moments with them over the years as I shared their small victories and pleasures.

Alyssa G. - Seeking Work in Denver

Part-Time Child Care Provider Available in Denver, CO: Alyssa G.

Hi! My name is Alyssa and I have about 5 years of experience working with kids from ages 3 months to 12 years. I currently have a full time job with Native Roots, but I’ve missed the natural joy that comes with being around children. My last experience with kids was at Life Time Athletic in their Kids Academy, where I was the supervisor for 3 years. We took care of children from ages 3mo-11yr, managing a fun safe environment for about 50 children while their parents worked out. This allowed for me to build so many great relationships with the families and many of them would have me babysit for date nights, afterschool care, etc. I have a personal interest in Art and love to do crafty activities embracing children’s creative sides.
