Alisa has helped me enjoy parenting again! She brings calm, clarity, and practicality to every scenario I bring to her. She's successfully coached me to support my 4-year-old in getting himself ready independently in the morning. She's also helped our family transform dinnertime from a frustrating battle of wills into a fun and nourishing mealtime we can all enjoy together. Alisa uses her many years of experience to ask all the right questions, get to the bottom of the challenge, offer pragmatic solutions, and troubleshoot if necessary. I can't recommend her enough!

Overall, we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better nanny, and we learned so much about how to raise our children from watching her interact with them. She was always happy to provide thoughtful, useful advice when we asked for her help. Alisa is an incredibly patient, reliable and experienced caregiver. She patiently answered our children’s questions, taught them new concepts, created age-appropriate activities that engaged them, helped them develop independence, and treated them with respect.

Alisa is very patient, which has been very helpful with our daughter, who struggles with a communication disorder. She made sure to put extra effort into helping our daughter better express herself verbally. Because of Alisa’s help, our daughter is a more confident speaker, and her vocabulary has exploded.

From day one, Alisa brought deep experience, creativity, and an unwavering commitment to our child’s well-being. She is an incredible teacher who has not only nurtured our son’s growth but has also taught us so much about parenting along the way. Her ability to communicate effectively—both with our son and with my husband and me—has been invaluable. She has a special way of speaking to children that fosters both understanding and respect, and we have been amazed at how well our son has responded to her guidance from such a young age.

Alisa went above and beyond the normal nanny duties by suggesting interesting activities or toys that our older twins could play with when they no longer needed to nap, but were not able to remain focused on quiet activities at quiet time. She was a calm and grounding presence in our household.
