"“Honey” (Alexandria) is the best! We adore her. She is so fun, always singing, dancing and brings thoughtful toys and activities for the kids based on their interests. She is very reliable, always on time and follows schedules well. It’s clear that she is truly enjoying her time as a babysitter and it’s not just a job for her. I was forced to choose an end date for this review but hopefully we can continue to use her for many years to come!"

"Hi! Alex has been regularly sitting our 6th grader for several months. She's great! Alex provides the right about of structure and independence for Emma. Emma likes to think she's old enough not to need a babysitter. Emma appreciates her like a very cool older sister and always asks for Alex to come, which has not been the case for other sitters! Alex has always been very responsible and safe and has even helped out with some chores around the house! Excellent communication. Highly recommended!"

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

I worked in the kids club at 24 hour fitness as well as LA fitness. I also worked for a after-school program in Corte Madera called Andrews camps. I also teach Aikido to kids ages 5 to 15

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

My favorite thing to do with children is dance! I have all kinds of interest that include singing, baking, playing Legos, reading, going on rain walks to the library and picking lemons and making homemade lemonade.

The most important part about being a nanny...

What matters most to me about being a nanny is playing with the kids and making them laugh!

My experience with special needs children...

When working in Andrews camps I got a lot of one-on-one experience with special needs children

The most important part about being a nanny...

My most memorable moment was working with a 5 year old and talking about the importance appreciating what your parents do for you.
There was another time with the same boy that I had begun teaching him how to play piano. After dropping him off at the Jewish community center that afternoon, he said to me; "all I want to do is play piano"
