Meet the Lil Al’s Kids Staff!
Ryan Maloney
Lil Al’s Nursery Director
My name is Ryan Maloney and I graduated from CW Post in 2004. I majored in communications and wanted to be a sports broadcaster. While there I worked for both the college radio and TV stations and by sophomore year was working for WLIR, Party 105.3, and the Bone which are all local radio stations at the time. Since those radio stations have basically stopped operating I mainly focused on my school work but also taught tennis and swimming to both kids and adults. I moved to Maryland to once again work in radio and was able to start my own charity where I was able to raise $15,000 towards breast cancer. After a year and a half I received an offer from the Long Island Radio Group to come back and work with a group of great people that I was familiar with while being with WLIR. I have been with Big Al’s Family Fitness for over a month now and am coming over from Sportime in Syosset where I was the director of birthdays for all kids and adults and also worked at the front desk. I have taken over a similar role here as I work the front desk, am in charge of the nursery, and take care of any and all birthday and events. I really enjoy working with the children and would welcome any feedback from any member or soon to be member.

My name is Lisa Frandy and so far I have worked here for a brief 3 weeks. I just graduated in May from SUNY University at Albany with a Bachelors in Biology. Since I have graduated I am considering continuing my education next year to become a teacher. So, I wanted to work in the nursery at Big Al’s because it gives me some experience working with multiple young children of various ages.

They are so much fun and it is so great to watch them grow!

Michelle Lavin
Lil Al’s Staff
My name is Michelle. I go to school at Manhattan College. I dorm during the week but, I come home every weekend. My major was Early Childhood Education but, I changed it to a Business major because of the economy troubles. I have been babysitting since I was in seventh grade. Being around kids is what I love but unfortunately there aren’t too many jobs as teachers available. I have been working at Big Al’s for about five months and feel this is the best job and I absolutely love all the kids! I look forward to working even if it is just on the weekends:)
