About me

My name is Allisha and I am a recent graduate of Syracuse University where I obtained my BFA in Acting. I love dogs, baking, reading, and dancing badly to ABBA. Originally from northern Virginia (southern accent available upon request), I spent most of my extracurricular time in high school and college either participating in theater or babysitting. Childcare has been my primary and preferred source of income for nearly 8 years because it allows me to be active and creative in my work life!

During the summer of my junior year, I worked at a daycare where I cared for up to 5 children at a time, from 3 months to 6 years. The summer of my senior year, I was a nanny for a New York City family with two girls (2 years and 6 months) for 30-35 hours a week. Since graduating and putting down roots in NYC, I have done after-school care for a 10 year old girl, as well as working as a staff member at the kids club of a local Brooklyn gym, where parents drop off their children while they exercise.

I come from a military family that appreciates discipline as much as they appreciates play. I am passionate about embracing creativity and imagination in young children. I wouldn't be in the field I am now if my curiosity and creative spirit hadn’t been encouraged as a child. One of the greatest gifts that I have held onto is my love of a good game, and that is why I love improv! Whether we are kicking a soccer ball around, or pretending to be dragons, I always enjoy engaging interactively with kids.
