Hi! My name is Alicia. I am 22 years old and originally from MI. During my junior and senior years in high school, I was enrolled into a medical science program. I was first certified in CPR and First Aid through this program. I had internships at pediatrician offices, the delivery floor at Bay Regional Medical Center and a speech therapy internship at a local elementary school. I love taking care of children! I am very organized, neat, caring, positive, and loving! The younger ones love it when you sing to them or even just talk with them. I have experience with children ages 3 months and up and have 6 years of experience! My most recent position was being a Nanny for an amazing family with three children. I was hired after they interviewed several other applicants and I am thankful for the opportunity every day. The youngest was 8 (mentally that of a 2-year-old) and was legally blind and had a mental disability that has yet to be diagnosed. I tried my best to think of activities to keep her mind going and to help her learn. I had to learn very quickly how to help her through her daily tantrums and communication struggles. Although she had certain struggles I never failed to always remember she is an 8-year-old girl! who loves to play dress up and give hugs and kisses! I learn things very quickly. I am compassionate, professional, loving and positive. I have a portfolio available which includes my resume, recent background check and CPR card. Thank you for taking the time to read my bio!

    Alicia has been caring for our specials needs daughter after school this year. Alicia is very warm and caring and we saw a change in our daughter just a couple of weeks after Alicia began caring for her. Alicia provides consistency and structure, which has been incredibly helpful to her development and state of mind. Alicia developed her own daily lesson plans, and would adjust when necessary, depending on our daughter's mood and needs. Our other two children have become attached to Alicia as well. She rocks!
