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 am a dedicated childcare provider with experience and a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Brazil, which helps me understand child development, emotions, and behaviors in a deeper and more supportive way. I also completed an Au Pair program, which gave me hands-on experience caring for children of different ages while living with a host family and supporting their daily routines. I currently live in Denver, CO, and work as a nanny for an 11-year-old, assisting with her daily routine, walks, swimming classes, music lessons, and playdates. I have an active lifestyle, and I am responsible, patient, loving, and committed to creating a safe, fun, and structured environment for children. I am punctual, organized, and able to adjust routines according to the family’s needs. I also have experience with younger children, including preparing meals, light household tasks related to the child, homework help, and creating engaging and educational activities throughout the day. I’m looking for a family who values communication, trust, and kindness. I’m available to start immediately and provide excellent care with attention, warmth, and professionalism.
I have Master's degree in young child education with a Montessori focus, I am certified to work with children 0 to 6 years old and I am most comfortable to work with children newborn to 6 years old, but I have experience with children up to 10 years old. I am an AMI trained Montessori guide and have greatly enjoyed my time with children in the classroom. I went back to school during the pandemic and became a speech therapist. I now specialize in early intervention services. I have worked with children ages 12 mo to 6 years old in a school setting over the last ten years but am now focusing on home care because of COVID risks in schools. I believe in interacting with children as unique individuals, showing them full respect and helping them develop personal independence, social skills, and a true sense of self confidence.
