Summary
Hi there! My name is Alyssa and my passion is to work with children of all ages and needs. I am a twenty-five-year-old who enjoys what I do outside of work which involves anything from drawing to going on a spontaneous road trip. I have two dogs and a crazy orange cat who zips around my house on a daily. I am a bubbly, outgoing and all around positive with a smile glued to my face. I have been working with children for ten years, it started off as me babysitting around the age of fifteen for family and friends. Gradually my love for taking care of children grew and I decided I wanted to be an Early Childhood Educator and expand my learning by getting my CDA and Director’s credentials. My goal has always been to work in the special needs field to help those feel loved and cared for in a way they deserve.
