About Alexandra

Experience: 10 yrs

Hi families! I'm Alexandra! With over 10 years of experience caring for newborns through teens, I've worked as a nanny, preschool teacher, elementary summer teacher, and STEM instructor. I'm CPR/First Aid certified, an excellent swimmer, and a former volunteer firefighter with swift-water rescue training. My background also includes early childhood development, Montessori/Waldorf approaches, horticulture, and sustainable agriculture. I believe childhood should be filled with imagination, outdoor adventures, muddy knees, curiosity, and laughter-not screens! I'm a homework helper, bedtime storyteller, ping-pong warrior, peekaboo champion, and expert monster negotiator. Above all, I want children to feel safe, heard, nurtured, and confident to explore the world. Every family is different, and I happily adapt to yours.

Me, my husband and my 16mo old girl visited SB from Mass for a wedding. We needed a caregiver while at the wedding. Our daughter has never been looked after by anyone other than family so we are very new to this and were hesitant and discerning when looking for a caregiver. We were lucky to find Alex! She is easy, energetic and communicative to work with and put our mind at ease when she arrived. We know she left a great impression on our daughter when she woke up the next day calling for Alex
