Hello, my name is Alexanna, I have many children in my life who look to me as an addition to their family’s, from friends children, cousins or god children, I am a mother of one.
I am looking to add a second income as I waitress in the evenings. Currently I have my 1 year old with me durring the day.
I would describe myself as a dynamic communicator who can enjoy/ understand kids for who they are but talk to them in a way that is engaging, respectful, and thoughtful.
Focusing on conversation skills, reading, uses critical thinking in stimulating projects and respectful play. Or helping with homework and sports.
