About Alexandra

Experience: 10 yrs

I'd describe my personality as curious, warm and playful. I like working with kids because they are immersed in the present moment and allow me to express my playful side. I'm looking for a job that is flexible and uplifting. I started working with kids as a teenager and have worked in Montessori schools, outdoor programs and cared for many nieces and nephews. In my spare time, I like to cook, garden, read, hike, spend time with friends and family. My skills include affirming children's emotions, creative playtime in nature, and hello ng facilitate smooth transitions.

Alexandra has been great for my 1 year old son. She’s present any engaged every moment. I love that she’s been able to take him in nature daily so he gets lots of time outside while the weather is nice. She checks in with updates and always returns with a report and lots of photos of their adventure. She’s able to pick up on his cues for hunger, diaper changes, and play - as well as be intuitive to my needs. This has been a short term gig while she’s visiting the aree and we are so sad that she has to return home! We look forward to keeping in touch and hiring again in the future
