My name is Alexandra and I am a Speech Language Pathologist in an educationally based setting. While growing up, I've had many jobs, which required caring for children. These jobs included being a counselor at both sleep away and day camp and babysitting for multiple families with children of all ages. Throughout my graduate studies I worked at an after school program for children aged 3 to 8th grade. This program required me to supervise the students, aide them with homework, and engage them in extracurricular activities. Additionally, during graduate school, I had the pleasure of working with children who exhibited various diagnoses and disabilities. I am fun, energetic, responsible, and I love playing with and helping children of all ages! I will find activities that each individual child will find entertaining and enjoyable. Babysitting is something that I take pride in doing because everyday is unique and it feels amazing to be a part of any child's learning and growing.

    I have used Alexandra for childcare for my special needs son who is almost 4 years old. She is punctual, reliable, and great with kids. I highly recommend her and trust her with my nonverbal son, which I think there's a lot!
