Meet college nannies and sitters from Marquette University

I’m a student at DePaul University working toward my Master’s in Education and currently student teaching in Chicago. I also work with kids in special education, so I bring patience, creativity, and a supportive approach to every child I care for. I can help with homework, tutoring, fun activities, and light household tasks. I’m CPR and first-aid trained, reliable, and love keeping kids engaged and safe. Excited to meet your family!

Hello! My name is Allyson, and I recently moved to the area from Wisconsin with my partner after earning my M.A. in Public Service from Marquette University. Caring for children has been one of the greatest joys in my life. I've been babysitting and nannying since I was 12 years old and have had the privilege of caring for dozens of families with children ranging from just 2 weeks old through 12 years old. While I enjoy working with children of all ages, I have a special passion for caring for infants. Building trusting relationships with families is incredibly important to me, and several parents have shared that I was the first person outside of their family they felt comfortable leaving their baby with. I consider that trust an incredible honor and strive to provide every child with patient, attentive, and loving care. My graduate fellowship at a child welfare agency deepened my holistic approach to caregiving. There, I received training in trauma-informed care and Trust-Based Relational Intervention, strengthening my understanding of child development, emotional regulation, and the importance of secure, responsive relationships. I am also currently earning a Trauma Informed Care Certification through Michigan State University to continue expanding my knowledge and provide the best care possible for every child I work with. Whether we're reading books, exploring outside, creating art, or working through big emotions together, I strive to create an environment where children feel safe, respected, and encouraged to learn. I'm also happy to assist with meal preparation, light housekeeping, homework/educational activities, and pet care so I can be a dependable, supportive presence for your entire family. On a personal note, I love being in water, quality time with my partner, singing, going to parks, and snuggles with with my kitty, Miss Araya Sunshine. One of my long-term dreams is to open a daycare centered on social-emotional learning, nervous system regulation, and helping children explore their interests and build confidence through safe, nurturing relationships. I would love the opportunity to get to know your family and provide quality, nurturing care to your littles!

I have been a pediatric speech language pathologist for 14 years. Prior to beginning my career, I had extensive baby-sitting experience. I will provide care for my nephews and niece regularly. I have extensive experience working with children with special needs, including Autism Spectrum Disorder. In addition to providing speech and language services, I am also a feeding therapist. I am CPR-certified. I am just looking to do some work slightly outside of my career-field.
