Hi! I’m Alyssa, I’m 22 and I grew up as the oldest of 11 kids. I have been the designated as the babysitter in all of my extended family and am very accustomed to caring for any amount of kids of any ages. As my main job I teach swimming/water safety lessons, I am also currently an assistant coach for elementary colorguard certified through a school district. Pets are no problem! If you have any animal, I can almost guarantee I have worked with it before. I have bottle-fed kittens, vaccinated goats, chased down chickens, I volunteer feeding/handling snakes/other reptiles weekly, and have been the proud owner of 4 parrots myself! I have also served as a live-in caregiver for my grandparents for months at a time until they could be moved into permanent care. I graduated High school from Miami Valley Career Technology center studying Fire/EMS, receiving training in first aid and CPR in the event of an emergency.

I took care of my siblings and basically raised them, so I've spent my entire life taking care of two siblings, helping them with homework and cooking them food to eat and all that stuff! I do fun, crafty stuff too, I like going to the park when it's warmer outside. I also have experience with babies, i absolutely love babies and am planning to have at least 2 of my own! 😁😁

I currently work for a company called the Learning Experience where I get to be a wonderful lead teacher to kids aged 2 to 2 and a half. I've been working with the Learning Experience since March of this year (2026), however I did work with schoolagers before this as well. My job requires me to be up to code with state rules and regulations as well as requiring several certifications. A little bit more about me, I'm a very bubbly outgoing person who wants to provide the best to your children that I can! I am looking to go back to college for my education degree so these jobs here will be my college fund :)
