Experience: 10 yrs
I've spent the last 10 years doing what I love most - helping kids grow into curious, confident little people. There's nothing better than watching a child light up over a new puzzle, a backyard game, or finally getting the hang of something they'd been struggling with. I have a college degree with a focus on Early Child Development, and I'm CPR and First Aid certified, so you can feel confident your kids are in safe hands. I'm also a strong swimmer and comfortable supervising water play if that's ever part of the job. Day-to-day, I'm happy to pitch in with meals, carpooling, and light tidying up, but my real focus is always on keeping your kids engaged, active, and having fun. I take my cues from you - every family has its own rhythm, rules, and communication style. I'd love the chance to become a trusted, familiar face in your children's lives. If that sounds like a good fit, I'd love to chat more!
Alexa came to us as a personal referral from a close friend, and within minutes of our initial phone call, I knew she was the perfect fit for our family. She has a genuine, natural love for caring for children—and dogs, too! Alexa doesn't just watch over children; she actively nurtures their development, plans engaging activities, and anticipates their needs. During her 7 months with us, she became a deeply trusted extension of our family and quickly turned into our daughter’s absolute favorite person. She is reliable, attentive, and incredibly warm. I would trust Alexa implicitly with any child or pet, and my only regret is that we couldn’t keep her longer. Any family would be beyond lucky to have her!
