About Alina

I have 30+ years of experience with infants, toddlers, and preschool children. Currently, I am a doctoral candidate in a Philosophy of Ed program specializing in Early Childhood Education and Development. I hold BA in ECE and infant studies and MA in Educational Psychology. My interests are in child development research and studies, parent coaching, and infant focused care. However, I am passionate about play-based education, art-making for academic learning, music, SEL and project-based learning. I am versed in many approaches to teaching and support for infants, toddlers & school-age children. My minimum is $25/hr for standard babysitting and childcare positions for 1 child but depending on locality and COL rates msy change. Childcare includes light household duties that directly connect to caring for children, organizing children's laundry, meal prep for the children, and sanitation of bottles, toys, and all workspaces. Note: I do not drive children; work hours are flexible.
