More About Me

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

I have worked as a professional childcare worker for A to Z Building Blocks for the past 2 years, serving as the lead teacher for their two-year-old class and am now leading the toddler class. I am responsible for creating a classroom schedule, incorporating desired curriculums, supporting my team's collaboration, and creating a loving, safe, and nurturing environment for the children.
I also currently work as a choreographer for Spanish Fork Youtheatre which offers an enriching theater experience to children ages 5-18!
Before working for A to Z, I was a head teacher for Treasure Tree Academy and taught three classes for children ages 3-5. I prepared developmentally appropriate activities each day and taught social and emotional skills.
In addition, from [phone number hidden] I worked as an instructional assistant for Franklin Elementary school where I helped with after school programs for older children, and then served as an assistant teacher for the three Kindergarten classes during the day.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I love field trips! Including walks, park visits, etc. Everything is exciting through the eyes of a child!
I enjoy teaching children dances, playing movement games like musical chairs, or imaginary games like "restaurant". But nothing can beat snuggles and a good book!

The most important part about being a nanny...

One of the most important things about being a nanny is helping children to feel safe and loved. Once that environment is established (and maintained), children can feel inspired to learn from their surroundings, feel confident to experiment with new knowledge, and show a willingness to progress!
It is also important to teach and model social and emotional skills, helping children to practice principles that will make their lives easier and more successful in the long run.
Finally, children should have fun and do good and productive things with their time! So many developmental milestones can be tapped through intentional play!

My experience with special needs children...

I have more than 10 hours of practical training experience in elementary schools, spread over the course of several weeks, with children diagnosed with mild/moderate and severe special needs. I also completed an Introduction to Special Education course and a Language Arts Instruction: Disabilities course at BYU while I was temporarily in the Special Education major.
In addition, I have a cousin with special needs who I love so much! I have spent time with her and have learned so much from her!

Alyssa Sariah F. - Seeking Work in Spanish Fork

Part-Time Child Care Provider Available in Spanish Fork, UT: Alyssa Sariah F.

Hey, my name is Alyssa. I have 8 yrs of experience working with children and special needs individuals in various settings. I've worked in special needs groups homes, and Schools. I've been a nanny twice in the past and also worked at a daycare for two years taking care of around 16 children.

I've been a stay at home mom for the last year to my two girls (1yr and 4yr). I love and miss taking care of other kids, planning fun activities and having friends for my girls to play with. So I'm excited for a job that I can do those things.
I'd also love to provide a parents with affordable childcare so I'm open to any ideas you might have. I also love taking the kids out (if parents are comfortable of course) to do fun activities with us like going to parks, splash pads, museums ect.)
But we also love playing outside, crafts and sensory play activities, so if you'd prefer we stay close by, we can still have alot of fun.
