About Alexa
Experience: 10 yrs
Nurturing children and witnessing their progress brings me immense joy. For the past 10 years, I've dedicated myself to providing a safe and enriching environment for children aged 0-11, with a special focus on toddlers. I have my bachelors in social work, was a licensed foster parent for 6 years, and worked for the Department of Child Services for 4 years. My approach is patient and friendly. I'm comfortable holding boundaries and enjoy engaging children with board games, puzzles, and outdoor adventures. I provide regular updates via text or phone calls, along with verbal communication at pickup. I am happy to help with crafts and swimming supervision. Caring for a maximum of two children allows me to provide individualized attention. I am passionate about supporting families and would love to bring my experience and enthusiasm to your home.
