Hello! My name is Alyson Thompson. I’m a professional caregiver with over 12 years of experience supporting families and caring for children. I spent more than six years babysitting and nannying in the NYC area, and since returning to my hometown of Baltimore in 2020, I’ve continued working closely with local families. Alongside my caregiving work, I bring a background in teaching - both in higher education and youth programs - which deeply informs how I care for children, with patience, attentiveness, and an understanding of each child’s unique emotional and developmental needs. I also have experience assisting children with special needs, both professionally and in my personal life. I navigate these relationships with sensitivity, patience, and care. I’m open to full-time, part-time, and occasional overnight care. I’m very familiar with the Baltimore area and am a calm, reliable presence when it comes to school pickups, activities, and playdates - Read more always prioritizing safety while keeping things engaging and fun. At my core, I truly love caring for children. The way they interact with the world is humbling to witness and be a part of. There’s something special about spending time with children - allowing my values to gently shape them while their perspective continually shapes me in return. I take pride in supporting families by offering consistency, kindness, and peace of mind, and I would be happy to help lighten the daily rhythm of your home.
