Hello Families! I am an early childhood education teacher with 15+ years of experience in infant care, preschool teaching and school-age aftercare programs. My focus is on safety, engagement, positive reinforcement and creating supportive relationships. I love working with children and they enjoy me, so it’s a “win-win”. Credentials: BS in Biology, California CTC credential in Child Development including Infant/Toddler certification, Board Certified Autism Technician, Child/Infant CPR and First Aid. I specialize in nature-based learning and Outdoor Classroom curriculum. Fully vaccinated, non-smoker and health-conscious. Happy to assist with meal preparation, potty training, schoolwork/tutoring, and bedtime routines. I come prepared to facilitate activities including art, dance/music, cooking/baking, board games, reading and more. Available for house and pet sitting with flexible scheduling. I adore animals and tend cats, dogs, guinea pigs, rabbits, turtles, birds, etc. with past expertise as a veterinary technician. Message me to discuss your family’s needs and schedule - I’d love to see how I can help! Thank you for viewing my profile and I look forward to meeting you and your family.

Kerstin was wonderful with my kids. They had a wonderful time with her and we’ll definitely use her again.

Hello, I’m Alyssa. I am 36, I currently work as a lead 3/4 year old teacher through UCSF. I have over a decade of experience babysitting and nannying through urbansitter and I have 4 years of experience teaching in a preschool classroom. I have a double major in Human Development (BS) and Psychology (AB) from UC Davis. I also possess an Associate of Science degree in Early Childhood Education and 8 Associate of Arts degrees. I have current infant first aid and CPR certification as well as trust line (fingerprinting) certification. My upbringing prepared me for a career in childcare. I was raised the oldest female of thirteen cousins and often helped cook, change diapers, and care for my younger cousins with my grandmother every day after school. Caring for children from a very early age helped equip me with a variety of tools to approach children with patience, creativity, warmth, and kindness that I employ every day when I work with children. While I was in college, I nannied with children 1-on-1 for 7 years and I worked as a library aide for 5 years. In the past I volunteered for 8 years coaching volleyball and basketball to 3rd-8th graders, and volunteered for 2 years as a 1st grade English tutor. I began babysitting when a family from work asked me to help watch their three children. I also have lots of experience watching twins and their sibling simultaneously. You can probably tell from my extensive schooling background that providing quality education is one of my core beliefs. It is vitally important for me to contribute to shaping children’s growing minds in environments that are supportive, constructive, and open to letting children try different approaches to learning where they are allowed to fail and grow from their mistakes. I love encouraging literacy, teaching through songs, scaffolding how to try new things on the playground, creating art projects, and incorporating gross motor activity to stimulate retention in the classroom. Thank you for reading and looking forward to hearing from you soon! I have a 24 hour cancellation policy - I will charge 50% for the cancelled booking with less than 24 hours notice. I have multiple references for cat, dog, reptile, and house sitting. I also have references for doing overnight care & before/after school drop-off.

Alyssa was on time, professional, and even brought new games for our kids to play with. They were comfortable with her right away. We would definitely work with her again!
