Hi there! My name is Alli. I am currently starting my own business; I have a bachelors degree in integrative medicine. I love working with kids and have for a long time. I was a live-in nanny for over a year for a family of four. One of the kiddos was two, one was five, and one was twelve. After that, I worked with another family managing their household for a year. They had a two year old and an eleven year old. I then substitute taught at a democratic school. These are just the families I’ve worked with long term, I’ve done a lot of babysitting in-between! I have little nieces and nephews and they’re the light of my life. I’ve done a lot of pet sitting over the years as well, including elderly dogs who required a lot of extra care. I love children and animals so much! I am very comfortable cooking, cleaning, driving, and running errands. I’m very organized and can help in this way as well!
