As a one-to-one aide, I worked with a child with autism spectrum disorder. My responsibilities include the following: continually monitoring and evaluating child's progress, providing individualized attention, staying aware of repetitive behaviors and fixations, promoting social skills, implementing treatment strategies, and providing tutoring once a week, and assisting the child in activities. My group of eight children (ages 6-8) had various disorders, such as autism and down syndrome, and consisted of both verbal and nonverbal communication skills. My responsibilities were to promote social skills, such as teaching children to understand other children's body language, how to understand and express their emotions, engaging in activities with other children. Additionally, I monitored and evaluated each child's progress.

Alexandria was the most amazing and qualified nanny we've ever had. Being that one of my children is autistic, we've been through multiple nannies to find the right one and she was the perfect fit! My three children (now 2, 5, & 9) adored her and it's almost impossible to find a nanny to replace Alexandria. My family was fortunate enough to have her working with us every summer since my second child was 3 until last month. She made us feel so comfortable with her since the moment she first came and the children love her as well. She makes meal preparations, helps around the house, does homework and tutoring, prepares fun activities for the kids and also helps take care of our two puppies. I highly recommend hiring her. She goes above and beyond our expectations and is like family to us at this point! She is always punctual, attentive and reliable. Anyone would be lucky to have her with their family!!
