Hi, my name is Alyssa and thank you for taking the time to get to know me! Currently, I work a full time position with kiddos of all ages, and am looking to offer assistance to parents in need of a caregiver they can trust. I am currently CPR certified, with training for adults and infants (certificate upon request), and I am trained in intervening in choking, as well as first aid. Additionally, I have extensive training (masters degree) in behavioral interventions, and can handle any situation with ease! I have my child abuse clearance, as well as my state police and criminal background check (all of which are clear and copies can be provided upon request). I am very good with children and love engaging in activities that keep them active, learning, and engaged. I am skilled in active listening, deescalation, multi tasking, flexibility, and patience. If you want Read more a caregiver you can trust, I’m your gal! Feel free to reach out with any questions!
