About Allison
Experience: 10 yrs
Hi! My name is Allison I am 30 years old, half Navajo and originally from California! I graduated from my vocational school 8 years ago, in dental assisting. In my spare time, I like to draw and paint murals. I graduated from high school in 2012 and did well in all subjects. My strong academic subjects are Music, Art, English and math up to Algebra 1. I played in my school orchestra for 6 years and I won 2nd place in the National Americanism essay contest. I believe in helping a child become well-rounded, and so I strive to do arts and crafts with the kids, projects, outdoor/STEAM activities, etc. I am comfortable with pets and vegetarian cooking and cleaning as well. CPR/AED certified with real-life trauma experience. Experienced with newborns- kids of all ages. Safety is always my top priority. Your family becomes my family and is treated as such. I am medically exempt from getting the vaccine, so I am looking for a family that is safe and comfortable with that as I have been.

I would first like to address Allison's one star review from an individual in July. I find this very hard to believe as Allison was working full-time for our family from February to September. I can't believe that someone can leave a review that's completely unvalidated. With that being said, I would like to tell you about my family's experience with Allison. Our original plan was to work with Allison from February to June and then start Daycare. Well, June came and there was no way we could put our son in someone else's care. We ultimately pushed out as far as we could afford because our son loved Allison so much. The way she cared for him, the way she interacted with him, was a special thing to see. It was a great opportunity for my wife and I to learn from her as well, as she has infinitely more experience with children than we have. Forever grateful to her and we will always keep in touch. Thank you, Allison.
