About Alyssa

Experience: 7 yrs

I have over 7 years of experience as a nanny and have worked with infants, toddlers, and even fully grown adults. I have also worked with families who have mental disorders, seizures and disabilities, and am comfortable providing any necessary care. In addition to my experience as a nanny, I am also a professional chef and baker. I love to cook healthy meals and snacks for children, and can accommodate any dietary restrictions. I also enjoy playing the tongue drum, which is a fun and calming activity that I can share with your children. I am not vaccinated against COVID-19 however as herbalist I truly believe in the power of natural herbs and plants. I prioritize health and wellness, and will always look for natural remedies before turning to pharmaceuticals. I absolutely love animals and am comfortable caring for any furry family members you may have. I am happy to cuddle with both kids and pets, and am not afraid to roll up my sleeves and help with cleaning or laundry.

I had the privilege of having Alyssa as our nanny for a significant period, and I can't sing her praises enough. She cared for our six-month-old and our five-year-old with autism with a touch of magic that reminded me of Mary Poppins herself. Alyssa's love and attention were apparent in everything she did. Her homemade baby food was so incredible, and she managed to make even Brussels sprouts irresistible to our kids. Alyssa went above and beyond by meal prepping for the children, and they adored every dish she prepared. They didn't mind eating their vegetables because she made them so delicious. She even extended her care to our dog, who typically shied away from people. She bathed him, crafted special doggy treats, and they became the best of friends. The days spent with Alyssa felt like endless adventures. She took the kids on imaginative journeys around the world via TikTok, turning their virtual discoveries into real-life experiences. Whether it was recreating dishes from China or crafting specialty drinks from YouTube videos, Alyssa's creativity knew no bounds. She integrated seamlessly into our family, and we even vacationed together at times. During those trips, Alyssa made sure the kids had the time of their lives. Unfortunately, we've moved away now, but she was an indispensable part of our lives, especially considering our military lifestyle. If you ever have the opportunity to work with Alyssa, don't hesitate; she's a gem. We wish we could have taken her with us to California.
