About Alexandra
Experience: 5 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
Growing up with 2 younger brothers I was constantly put in charge when my mom was busy. I quickly learned different techniques on how to watch over kids and grew as I volunteered at a non-profit day care called Common Ground in Reston, VA. Following the 2 years, I volunteered in the summers helping with children there I started teaching religious education and being held accountable for the children. I kept babysitting my neighbors children over the time period, as there kids loved having me babysit. Additionally, the past two years before college, I had been volunteering at Inova Hospital in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit. I would watch over kids while there parents were at work, keep them entertained, do homework with them, and become their friend.

Ali has been such a wonderful help to us these past few months and she has made herself truly invaluable. There is nothing she hasn't helped us with - organization of the children's closets or the pantry, regular tidying of the house, child bed/bath for date nights, and, of course, being an excellent playmate to our 1 and 3 year old! She is always safe, caring and fun with the kids - clearly knowledgeable from many years of experience. She engages them at their age level and never leans on the TV to entertain or hangs on her phone the way some sitters do in a quiet moment. I appreciate her ability to be quick to help in every situation - unloading the groceries with me, making dinner for the kids or baking fun treats. She is flexible with her schedule, always punctual and has even watched our dog while we went out of town. She will be irreplaceable when she moves away but I am happy to chat with any future families should they have additional questions!
