Hi Parents! If you have any questions after reading my profile, I encourage you to reach out to me, and I will do my best to get back to you right away. I have been caring for children since I was 11 years old, and I started working as a Professional Nanny/Household Manager/Mary Poppins when I was 17 until I was 33. At the age of 30, I opened the sought-after nanny agency in Seattle, The Nanny Consultant. During the course of my nanny career, I took dozens of classes supporting children in everything from sleep to development, and I feel like I have read every parenting book under the sun. Since then, I have had three children, who are now 4, 5, and 7, whom I homeschool. Years ago, I completed the basic skills exam from the INA with 100% accuracy. I have also completed the National Nanny Training Day in San Diego in 2013 and in Seattle in 2016, Nannypolozza in Orlando in 2015 and Vancouver Nanny Training in 2016 and spoke there in 2017. I most recently attended a newborn care specialist class. I truly love this profession as it is a true passion of mine. I am in it for the long run. I currently only provide back up care and date nights. My objective is to offer families the best and complete care for their children with love, nourishment, and guidance and to make sure the health, well-being, education, and safety of the children are never jeopardized. I undertake all tasks related to the care of the entire household. I support children by providing physical, social, emotional, creative, and intellectual play to ensure proper development. I always maintain good, open communication with parents and usually come with a nanny bag with books, coloring sheets, and a puzzle that is age-appropriate. "I have extensive experience in childcare and treat the children under my care as if they were my own. I have a natural ability to connect with children, and they tend to gravitate towards me (even animals too!). My priority is providing quality care to the children and creating a safe and enjoyable environment for them."

Hi, My name is Alicia! I've been babysitting for 10 years now and it never feels like work to me because it's always fun! I've babysat kids in all different age groups, from 8 months to 10 years old. My favorite things to do while babysitting are going to the park, coloring, reading books, playing outside games, like tag. Pretty much anything to stay active and have fun.
