About Elexa

I am grateful that I found my passion for working children at young age! I have been working with children since the age of 14. I started as a full time nanny over one summer in high school. I then got a job at a daycare center and worked there all through high school and college. I also nannied for different families throughout college. After college, I went on to manage that same daycare center. I then decided that I wanted to work with children in a different setting. I began working as a substitute teacher in the sioux falls school district. I now have the position of an education assistant for 3rd graders at a behavioral school. With me having the privilege of working at a behavioral school, I have gained a more diverse knowledge in working with children that require a specific set of needs. Through this experience, I have grown to realize that I particularly enjoy working with kids whom may struggle with social, emotional, or learning disabilities.
