Nanny Lexi

7 years experience

A little bit about me

Hi, I’m Lexi! I obtained a bachelors degree in psychology in 2023, and am actively pursuing a PsyD in clinical psychology online. I have experience working as a behavioral interventionist at an elementary school, as well as after-school care as needed. I have a passion for helping kids understand their emotions and effectively express themselves in a safe way. I believe that perception is a powerful tool and starting to learn and practice it at a young age can be beneficial in many aspects. Along with that, I love being able to have fun and be silly; building life skills is so important AND SO IS allowing kids to be kids - I believe I have a great understanding of how to balance these! I have a 5 y/o nephew and a 2 y/o niece who are my whole world. It is crucial to me to ensure every child I encounter feels safe, loved, and cared about! I look forward to chatting and exploring the possibilities of helping your family!
