Hi! My name is Alex and I have over 10 years of experience in childcare/nannying, excluding the 5 I now have as a mama myself! I have worked with newborns all the way until elementary school aged kiddos, including families with 4 children and a set of twins. I have my Bachelors Degree in Health Sciences with a focus in health, fitness, and nutrition and have basic First Aid and CPR training. I have worked in healthcare in the clinical end but more recently since having kids, in health administration and insurance. I work remotely a few hours a week for a Pediatric Counseling Facility, where I did complete a training on Recognizing and Reporting Child Abuse through the University of Pittsburgh. My kiddos, 5 and 18 months, were both NICU babies. My son is in his second year of preschool but next year we will be attending a Co-Op Read more homeschool program on Mondays and Wednesdays. I would be looking for Tuesday and Thursdays at this time, but I do have tremendous amount of flexibility. Since becoming a parent, my friends encouraged me to get back into childcare as it is something I am so passionate about. We all acknowledged how challenging it is to find reliable, safe, and present childcare, and they are the ones that pushed me to get back into the field. I have since been doing in-home childcare. While I know this is not for everyone, and that is perfectly ok, we have had wonderful experiences doing this and have built wonderful friendships along the way. I am happy to provide any reference as well. My most important job is raising kind, thoughtful, happy children, and letting kids be kids and learn and play. While we do enjoy tv shows and Disney movies, we believe there is a time and a place each day for our screens. We love to do crafts, play board games, color, bake, listen to music, and play outside. We have a ton of educational workbooks we do on downtime, toys galore, a fenced in back yard, a play house, bubbles, and water table, and more. I take my job very seriously and am the type of person that I'd want watching my kids. I hope you consider me and please reach out with any questions or concerns!
