Booked by 1 family in Denver, CO

I recently left teaching to pursue caring for and educating children on my own terms and my own schedule. I have 10+ years of childcare experience working as a nanny, and 15+ years working as a tutor and teacher. I offer childcare services, tutoring services, enrichment services, and developmental support for physical, occupational, speech, and feeding therapies. I have experience working with children from infancy to 17 years old. I am CPR and First Aid certified through the Red Cross. I do not smoke, and I have my own transportation which can be used for your service needs. My bachelor’s degree is in Deaf Education. My specialization areas include Middle Level Mathematics and Language Arts. I am fluent in American Sign Language. I have 15 years of experience working with children with special needs, including: autism (ASD), deaf, blind, ADHD, Downs Syndrome, fetal alcohol syndrome, cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, and more.

Allison has worked with my son who has a disability for a year now. She is reliable and very patient with my son. Allison isn’t afraid to ask for help when she’s unsure of what to do in a situation. She not only watches my son, but has taught him developmental skills.

I was born and raised in Jacksonville Florida and recently made the big move to Denver! I've worked at daycares, learning centers, elementary schools and at family homes as a nanny through college, so I am well versed in taking care of children in different platforms/ for different needs. I'm trained in pediatric first aid and CPR certified. I also have taken and completed courses in child development and nutrition. I'm so excited to meet your kiddos! I think I’d be a great fit for you and your family. Prices are not set in stone and I’m willing to change and talk through them with you. Please call or text me at [removed] or email me at [removed] or the email given with the account.Thank you so much for the opportunity and I hope to see you soon.
