I'd describe my personality as cheerful, friendly and intuitive. I love working with kids because they bring me the most joy! To be with children and grow together is so fulfilling for me. Children are so interesting and interested and I learn so much from them. Every child is wonderful and I can't help but see their brilliance even in the challenging moments! I started working with kids 18 years ago, when I was old enough to be trusted as a mother's helper (age 10)! In my spare time, I like to read and do art in many forms, jewelry/drawing/clay for example. I also like to play my violin for fun! My skills include, first and foremost, oodles of patience! I'm excellent with listening and affirming a child's experience and building a positive relationship through that. I can also maintain appropriate behavioral boundaries and fill the role of gentle correction/redirection to work through conflict and challenges, if needed.
Alex is kind, caring and hard working, she bonded with my baby on day one. She is very easy to work with and open minded. When the baby napped Alex organized the kids room, toys chest and their wardrobe. She was constantly looking for ways to help, I highly recommend hiring Alex for your childcare needs.
