Summary
Hi! I’m Alisha—a nurturing, dependable caregiver with over five years of experience working with children from newborns to age five. I’m passionate about creating safe, loving environments where little ones can grow, explore, and thrive. I believe in open communication with families and always bring patience, flexibility, and a calm, grounded presence to my work. Whether I’m helping a baby get settled into a nap routine or planning a fun day out for curious toddlers, I’m all about supporting each child’s unique needs and development.
