About Alexa

Experience: 16 yrs

I can't wait for the chance to care for your children, pets, or loved ones needing extra support! I've been an occupational therapist for 5 years, including 4 years working with children in school-based special education and 1 year supporting adults and seniors in hospital rehabilitation. Three words that describe me are empathetic, adaptable, and reliable. I've been babysitting since I was 12 and have worked with kids with disabilities since high school, continuing this passion into my career as an occupational therapist. I love helping my students' and patients' personalities shine, build confidence, and have fun! In my free time, I enjoy hiking, camping, and traveling with my husband. We're on a mission to visit every national park. So far we have been to 39/63! Skills: • Competent care with a doctorate in occupational therapy • Efficient, honest communication • CPR & First Aid certified

Alexa is so sweet with kids. I have a 7 year old and a 9 year old. She was great with both of them. I highly recommend Alexa!
