About Allison
Experience: 10 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
Hi there, my name is Allison and I am a third generation Alamedan. I grew up around kids and helped raise my little brother who is nine years my junior. From there, I babysat for friends of my parents, neighbors, and for morning daycares in churches until I started nannying in 2014. From 2014 until my most recent family as of 8/2024, I have helped raise 7 different children spanning from a preemie 3-month-old, excitable toddlers, and outdoorsy 10-year-olds. I also have 6 nieces and nephews that I care for regularly that span from newborns to teens, including a set of twins. As a nanny, I am seeking a family who sees me as a part of their family, since I will be caring for the most important family member! I truly enjoy children and know that I can provide love, safety, and structure as well as laughter and fun. I seek to connect with children on their level and value them as their special, unique, and individual selves. Let's chat and see if we're a good fit.

We’ve been fortunate enough to have worked with Allison for the past year and during that time, she has been an incredible addition to our family, providing exceptional care for our daughter, M. Her warm and nurturing personality immediately put our minds at ease, and it’s clear that she genuinely cares about the well-being and development of our little girl. From day one, Allison has been reliable, punctual, and incredibly organized. She quickly established a daily routine that keeps the children engaged, whether it’s through educational activities, outdoor play, or creative projects. Her ability to balance fun with structure has been invaluable, ensuring that our daughter is not only entertained but also learning and growing. One of the things we appreciate most about Allison is her strong communication skills. She always keeps us informed about the day’s events, milestones, and any concerns she may have. This level of transparency has built a strong sense of trust and partnership, which is so important in a caregiving relationship. In addition to her professional skills, Allison is kind, patient, and has a wonderful sense of humor that our daughter adores. She has truly become a part of our family, and we are so grateful for the care and love she has provided (and so sad to be losing her!!). We highly recommend Allison to any family seeking a dedicated and compassionate nanny. She has made a significant positive impact on our lives, and we are incredibly fortunate to have had her with us.
