Meet Alyson

Greetings! My name is Alyson Hills and I am an experienced caregiver and lover of pets and children! I am 25 years old and currently working a part-time, work from home, forms building position and looking to supplement my income post-grad as I prepare to begin my teaching career next fall. I am originally from the Bay Area, California where I completed my K-12 education. After high school graduation I followed my long-found passion for education up North to California State University, Chico where I obtained by Bachelor's degree in Liberal Studies with a minor in Child Development. I have since moved South in search of the ocean and in pursuit of a Master's degree in Education and Multiple Subject teaching credential from Pepperdine GSEP. Excitedly, I completed my program in August! Unfortunately, post-hiring season. Although I am looking forward to becoming an elementary school teacher soon enough, I am Read more most focused on using my education in my daily life- however that may be for now. I am well equipped with teaching methods, instructional strategies, and behavior management techniques necessary both inside and outside the classroom. Your comfort, as well as your child's comfort and safety, is my utmost concern while they are within my care. I pride myself on my creative lesson planning (activities), nurturing demeanor, and clear communication skills with both children and their families. I have over 10 years of professional childcare experience working within theater facilities, preschools, daycare programs, after school/summer camps. My most recent experience with children was over 600 hours of student teaching in a Kindergarten classroom within IUSD. I also have several experiences working as a full-time private nanny for an individual baby/toddler. For these positions I was tasked with supervising and entertaining, feeding and changing, taking the child to the park or music class, nap time and bath time, light laundry/dishes/housework and so on. I am comfortable with the typical nanny/sitter duties! In my personal time I enjoy spending as much time as I can on the beach, doing almost any kind of arts and craft (specifically building fairy houses, a sacred hobby of mine), and caring for my 5 year old Maltipoo, Bailey! I characterize myself as a creative, supportive, and reliable childcare provider- please let me know if I sound like a fit for your family or if you know of a family looking for childcare services! All the best, Aly

We love Aly, she is a star. She is diligent, responsible, hardworking, and oh so creative and kind. Our 21-month-old took to her immediately. If it weren't for a spot opening up at our top choice daycare, we would've gladly continued using her to take care of our son. She went above and beyond in so many ways -- little notes at the end of the day, leaving things cleaner than she found them (which was a huge help as we had just moved), and was more than happy to accommodate any specific requests I had. Activities ranged from watercolor to blocks to chalk and bubbles (we had all these but she really made educational use out of them!) and our son went down for his mid-day nap with her daily without fail. (This didn't always happen with previous nannies.) I truly enjoyed meeting and working with Aly and would highly recommend her to any parent who wants a smart, proactive, and genuinely positive nanny who truly loves kids and who kids can't help but love as well.
