Alicia

"Hello! My name is Alicia, and I am a passionate, professional early childhood educator with over 7 years of classroom experience specializing in the Early Head Start and infant/toddler grade levels. I hold an active Child Development Associate (CDA) credential, meaning my entire career is built around understanding child development milestones, creating safe, structured routines, and nurturing young minds. As a mother myself, I bring a unique blend of professional expertise and deep maternal warmth to every family I serve. I am currently seeking day-to-day or part-time nanny opportunities where I can bring my own sweet 4-month-old son along, providing a wonderful opportunity for peer socialization and parallel play in a structured, loving environment." My journey into education began through the dance ministry at my church, where I discovered the profound capacity of toddlers to learn through step-by-step guidance. Witnessing firsthand how intentionally and beautifully children grow when met with sensitivity and unconditional love sparked a lifelong passion for teaching. As a mother of three who has been surrounded by children all my life, I combine deep personal insight with professional expertise to create a nurturing, secure environment where young learners can thrive. Committed to continuous professional growth, I bring a strong work ethic, absolute dedication to preserving the innocence of early childhood, and a desire to pursue further education in the field.
