Hello, My name is Alexandra, I’m 51 a semi retired masters level social worker. I have about 30+ years of experience. focused jobs and be able to work with kids in a more organic way. I am known to be silly, conscientious, reliable and very compassionate. I truly enjoy being with kids of all ages and find it meaningful to help them experience the world in thoughtful, creative, playful and secure ways. I try to make things seem like an adventure and address conflicts as opportunities for growth. I am also very good with infants and have experience with sleep training. I see my job as being both a coach and a mama bear. If anything does arise I am extremely well trained, calm and focused in an emergency. I’ve been CPR and First Aid trained for over 30 years. As a parent and family social worker I have learned Read more many effective behavior management techniques for kids ages birth to 100. I believe it's extremely important to provide each family the specific care they want and to honor the norms, needs and values of the household.The most important thing to know about me as a childcare provider is that I will take care of your children, pets and household the way you want me to. I believe taking responsibility for the well-being of any child means you always put them first. Choosing the right person to care for your child and trust them in your home is the most important decisions a person can make. I welcome any and all kinds of questions or requests and can make myself available for online interviews at your convenience. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, Alexandra Sagov MSW

Alex was great about watching my 14 month old for a week while my husband and I worked from home. Not only did Alex come with a bag full of toys for my daughter to enjoy, she was constantly engaging and provided endless entertainment all day. Alex was great about adjusting to our schedule and was patient with a toddler who can be challenging at times with her big emotions. We were so thankful to have Alex's help and will definitely be reaching out in the future!

Alex knows how to have fun and be silly with kids of all ages! She is constantly on the lookout for new local activities and experiences for our kids, and she always showed up to our house with a big bag of her own toys and crafts! She is engaging and thoughtful. Alex truly cares for our kids and wants the best for our entire family.
