Hi! I'm Alex - a caring, creative, and reliable childcare provider with over 13 years of experience supporting children from infancy through the teen years. I've worked with families in both the US and UK, and I specialize in nurturing children's development through play, emotional attunement, and structured routines. I hold a MSc in Early Child Development and a BA in Psychology. I've supported many neurodiverse children and have experience with a range of needs including ASD, ADHD, OCD, and speech delays. Whether I'm planning sensory activities, helping with homework, or managing school pickups and playdates around London, I always aim to create a safe, engaging, and supportive environment. I'm CPR/First Aid certified, DBS-checked, and trained in safeguarding. I'm also happy to help with household needs and meal prep. I'd love to bring my experience, warmth, and energy to a family that values connection, communication, and care. Hope to hear Read more from you soon!
