Hello! My name is Alejandra Alemany, I'm 32 years old. I was born and raised in the Dominican Republic but moved to New York City in Sept. 2016 to study acting. Since arriving in NYC, I've babysat children from 2 months to 14 years old. I can provide plenty of references if needed and I have dog-sitting experience. I hold a degree in Social Communication and a master’s degree in acting. Before moving to New York, I worked as an entertainment host on a daily TV news show and acted in commercials, plays, and movies. Although my studies haven’t focused on children, I’ve always had a strong connection with them. Since November 2019, I’ve worked at the New York Kids Club as a Special Events Staff Member. Occasionally I assist with Pre-K programs and after-school enrichment classes, and I lead camps. As part of this role, I’ve earned training certificates Read more in CPR, Mandated Reporter Training, Shaken Baby Syndrome, Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, Foundations in Health and Safety, Family Engagement, Prevention & Identification of Brain Injuries, Early Childhood Education, among others. Babysitting has allowed me to combine two of my passions: arts and children. As a performer who loves to dance, sing, and act, I enjoy being creative with the kids and they seem to love it! Over the years, working with children has taught me so much about how their minds work: how to communicate with them in ways they understand, how to teach them new things in a way that sparks their interest, how to encourage better decision-making, and how to foster their growth as better listeners. I’ve learned to build trust and understanding, creating a safe space where they feel free to communicate and celebrate their achievements while knowing when to challenge them further. At the moment, I am looking for flexible hours, preferably with a family that needs an occasional babysitter. I have two part-time jobs—at NYKC, where I entertain kids' parties on weekends, and as an Actor Facilitator at CUNY School of Professional Studies. The hours for these jobs vary monthly, meaning I can be busy for some months and mostly free during others. I also audition regularly for commercials and film work, which can lead to sporadic bookings. I’m open to a weekly check-in arrangement, which worked well with the last family I worked for until their daughter, now 14, started high school and no longer needed a sitter. If you think this arrangement could work for your family, I would love to meet you!
