My name is Alexis and I have been a nanny for 13 years. As soon as I had a car I was eager to find my first official nanny job in high school! In addition to regular babysitting/nanny experience, I worked in a Child Development Lab where I learned to take care of children and work with parents in a professional setting. Since graduating college, I worked in N as a nanny and most recently with a family of 5 navigating transportation, meal prep, laundry, and pets. Before that, I had the pleasure of working with a set of twins! I often find myself becoming part of the family and it is my favorite part of the job. The kiddos I currently work with are now old enough to be self sufficient so I am looking for my next family. My ultimate goal is to make your life easier- I love cooking, enjoy cleaning, and am fond of pets. I do not smoke, have a car suitable for transporting kiddos, and always prioritize safety. If you would like to know more about me, send me a message!
Lex has been an absolutely invaluable nanny/sitter for my family. I was lucky enough to hire her in August 2019, just after my twins turned 8. As a single mom, having reliable childcare has always been essential. Lex’s responsibilities were before-and-after-school care, which involved getting the kids up and ready, and preparing creative and healthy lunches (the creative part was her doing). It also included prepping dinner and ensuring homework was done. She would take them to routine doctor’s visits (such as weekly allergy shots) as well as swim lessons and summer day camps. Recently, she also served as a travel sitter when a brought my kids on a week-long business trip. At all times, she has proven herself to be punctual, patient, efficient, knowledgeable, and fun to be around for kids and adults. She is calm and patient which has proven to be a huge asset as my twins learn how to better solve problems, navigate interpersonal struggles, and become all around better people. Her interests and exposure to different cultures, as well as her infallible integrity, continue to support the kids’ development. Lex also has wonderful communication skills. She makes an effort to ensure we are on the same page regarding how to approach issues with the kids and asks for clarification when necessary. She also appropriately draws attention to concerns, often offering solutions for consideration. She is extremely respectful of the parent/child dynamic and the role she plays as the sitter/nanny. We all love Lex and we will miss having her in our daily lives. We were so very lucky to have found her and look forward to always having her as a part of our family. I am truly jealous of the next family she joins.
