About Alexandra
Experience: 15 yrs
I'd describe my personality as curious, warm and playful. I like working with kids because they are immersed in the present moment and allow me to express my playful side. I'm looking for a job that is flexible and uplifting. I started working with kids as a teenager and have worked in Montessori schools, outdoor programs and cared for many nieces and nephews. In my spare time, I like to cook, garden, read, hike, spend time with friends and family. My skills include affirming children's emotions, creative playtime in nature, and hello ng facilitate smooth transitions.

Alex has been caring for our almost three-year-old daughter since November, and the bond they’ve built is so special. They spend their days making crafts, exploring nature, learning new skills, and giggling together. Alex is calm, playful, a great communicator, and always validates our daughter’s emotions with empathy. On days Alex is coming, our daughter eagerly asks, “How many minutes til Alex is going to be here?" We feel incredibly lucky to have Alex in our lives and wholeheartedly recommend her to any family looking for a kind, engaging, and dependable caregiver.
