About Alissa

Hi! I'm Cricket (or Alissa)! I have over 10 years of experience with kids and animals, but I specifically I love hanging out with kids. I have volunteered in my church's nursery for over two years and I am vetted for that work along with long term babysitting and nannying for families ever since I was 10 years old. I have two younger sisters and two older sisters so I definitely learned from the best. I love hanging out with and keeping kids safe from a 10-year-old Italian girl in Spain while hiking, running a kids church event in Southeast Asia and California to babysitting three siblings under 8 in the California area for days at a time. Since becoming an Auntie last November I have especially enjoyed being with my niece ever since she turned 1-month-old and just holding her and singing to her has become some of my favorite memories. I can't wait to be a safe friend to your kids and to be an ally in your parenting work/relationships/home life. - Cricket
