About Alexandra
Experience: 4 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
I'm passionate about fostering children's growth and development. My creative and fun-loving personality makes time spent a joy for children. With four years of experience, I am most comfortable caring for up to three children, aged 3/4 to 11. With a background in Social Work, Education Studies, and Human Relations I value fostering connections and building rapport with kids to have them feel the most comfortable with me. I prioritize open communication with parents, using their preferred method to discuss their child's day and address any issues. I follow the parents' lead in enforcing household rules, ensuring consistency for the children. My skills and training include First Aid and CPR. I'm also happy to assist with cooking, meal preparation, carpooling, and light housekeeping. I am here to support families and provide reliable child care. I look forward to meeting you and your children! Happy to answer any questions you may have.
