Hello, my name is Alison Hester. I have been caring for children since I was 12 years old. I have worked with multiple families over the years in my local community of Traverse City, MI. I worked with one family for 10 years before I moved to pursue my Masters degree. My Masters degree is in family therapy and have a passion for being part of a community. I moved to Grand Rapids 8 months ago and am hoping to increase my involvement in the community. I am an active sitter who likes to do activities, be outside, and increase child development and education. I have been educated on child development and behavior. Children are a joy and a source of inspiration to me and it would be a pleasure to be invited into your family for a little while.
