Alexandra P. Care Companion in Asheville, NC 28806

Hello! My name is Alexandra. I am 26 years old, live in Asheville and have a degree from the University of Connecticut in psychology. I am now planning on going back to school for nursing. I have been working in the babysitting/hospitality/health care field for many years now.
Most recently, I have been working at an inpatient hospital facility as a behavioral health technician, where it is my responsibility to provide care and treatment for the clients. I am First Aid/CPR/Conflict De-escalatation certified. I consider myself very compassionate and nurturing, otherwise I probably wouldn't have had the calling to work in the field that I work in, taking care of others!
Before working at the hospital, I have babysat for ten years and have worked with children of all ages. I mostly have worked with children aged 2-12, but also have experience working with newborns, along with individuals over the age of 12. I absolutely love working with kids and would consider myself a very interactive nanny, taking them on outings, keeping them mentally stimulated and providing excellent care and service such as changing diapers, light housework, preparing meals and providing transportation when needed, to name a few.
I also have experience working with children and adults with special needs. One of my favorite babysitting experiences was when I was a nanny in Italy in 2014. I worked with two children, aged 4 and 7, and an adult aged 19 years old whom had severe developmental disabilities. I was also a member of an organization called Best Buddies, where I acted as a peer to individuals with disabilities.
Additionally, I have worked at a daycare for several years, with children aged 2 to 6 years old. My duties included monitoring them, making sure they were in a safe environment, serving their meals, taking them outside for activities, engaging in arts and crafts, preparing them for nap time, cleaning up accidents and teaching basic skills.
Helping others is truly my calling in life. My hours are very flexible, and I do everything possible to make this professional experience as comfortable, caring and fun as possible. I would like to make this a great experience for both you and your children! :)
