About Alexandra

Hello Families, I would be so excited to work with you and your little ones! As a caregiver I'm warm, patient, encouraging, and creative. I've babysat two kids off and on, ages 7 and 9, as well as my niece Taeya, a 15-month-old baby. I love incorporating arts and crafts, reading together, physical activity, and outdoor playtime into a day if possible, paying particular attention to your child's needs, personality, and natural curiosities. As an undergrad I studied Psychology at UC Berkeley, taking a handful of classes in Child and Adolescent Psychology and Development. I also had the joy of volunteering as a mentor to a 1st grader at an elementary school through The Sage Mentorship Project, engaging in after-school activities and homework help. I'm currently pursuing a Master's Degree in Counseling Psychology, concentrating in Expressive Arts Therapies, in an online program from California Institute of Integral Studies.
