I am an experienced childcare provider with a strong background in early childhood education & inclusive care. As an Assistant Teacher at KinderCare and 5+ years of independent childcare, I have extensive experience managing groups of children aged 0 to 12, implementing educational activities, and ensuring a safe, nurturing environment. Additionally, my work as a private caregiver has equipped me with specialized skills in supporting children with multiple diverse physical and intellectual needs. I pride myself on my clear communication, my patience, and my ability to engage children through creative play. I am highly experienced in all aspects of essential care, including safe feeding routines, diapering, and hygiene management for infants through school-aged children. Whether I'm adapting activities for children with diverse physical and intellectual needs or facilitating structured play, my goal is always to provide a safe, engaging, and supportive environment for every child.
We feel incredibly lucky to have Alexa as our babysitter. She has done such an amazing job caring for our two boys and has brought patient and positive energy into our home. One of the things we appreciate most is how naturally she connects with the kids. She keeps them engaged, active, and genuinely excited to spend time with her. She’s especially skilled at helping siblings get along as there is noticeably less fighting when she is around. She is dependable, communicative, caring, and truly goes above and beyond. Any family would be lucky to have her, and we cannot recommend her highly enough.
