Alisha $22 per hour for 1 child

As a mother of a 21-year-old son now in college, I bring over two decades of hands-on experience in parenting, caregiving, and supporting children’s growth and development. Throughout my son’s childhood, I was actively involved in his school community as a “team mom,” field trip chaperone, classroom volunteer, and consistent presence at school and extracurricular events. Before and after my son’s birth, I worked with school-age children and daycare programs on military bases in Florida and New Mexico. I also have extensive experience providing babysitting support for families and friends, stepping in for both regular care and occasional coverage when needed. As a parent, I understand the importance of structure, consistency, and attention to individual household routines. I’m mindful of dietary needs, preferences, and any family-specific guidelines, and I always aim to create a balance between fun and structure while respecting each family’s expectations. I recognize that every household operates differently and adjust my approach accordingly. Parenthood has also taught me flexibility and calm problem-solving. I’m comfortable handling unexpected situations with patience and responsibility, addressing minor issues independently while keeping parents informed when something requires their attention. I hold an undergraduate degree in Psychology with a focus on child and adolescent development, which strengthens my understanding of behavior, communication, and age-appropriate engagement. I genuinely enjoy working with children, encouraging curiosity, creativity, and positive interactions in a safe and supportive environment where they feel comfortable and cared for.
