Hello! My name is Alyson. I’m originally from Chile and have lived in San Francisco and Paris before settling in New York City, where I’ve been based for the past two years. I am an experienced caregiver with over four years of hands-on childcare experience. I have worked as a nanny, babysitter, and in newborn care, supporting children from newborns up to 10 years old. I speak Spanish, English, and Portuguese, and I love incorporating conversational foreign language into play and daily activities when appropriate. My caregiving style is warm, attentive, and engaging. I strive to create a safe and nurturing environment where children feel comfortable, while also maintaining clear and consistent boundaries that help build trust with both children and parents from day one. I am currently available for flexible and occasional babysitting (date nights are always welcome!), and I am also open to short-term nanny or newborn care Read more positions. Please feel free to reach out anytime to ask about my availability—I am always happy to do my best to accommodate families when possible. In addition to my childcare experience, I studied drama at Cours Florent in Paris, hold a health coach certification, and have worked in the medical field as a medical interpreter. I enjoy bringing creativity, communication skills, and a health-conscious approach into my childcare work. Working with children is truly one of my passions. I love seeing little ones learn, grow, and have fun—and doing that in New York City makes it even more special. NYC kids are some of the most curious and lively little humans, and I feel lucky to be part of their world.

Aly got along well with my 6 (almost 7 year old) and was patient with him. She seemed to have read the specific "what we care about" list that I shared and asked thoughtful questions about them. Most importantly, my son had fun playing, reading and hanging out with her. She was responsive to messages and requests as well, which I appreciated very much vs some of the folks on here who are impossible to actually reach.
