A little bit about me
Hello families! My name is Zoë Alexandrou, age 23 and I recently moved to Arcata, CA. I’m currently looking to connect with families in need of childcare. I’ve spent much of my life working with children, including over a year at a nature daycare school caring for children ages 1–5. Alongside that, I’ve done individual nanny work and partially raise my 10-year-old sister, which has given me a deep understanding of both early childhood care and family dynamics.
I’m passionate about helping children explore and learn through nature, creativity, and connection. I value teaching kids important life skills like conflict resolution, mindfulness, and cooperation while encouraging free thinking, curiosity, and self-expression through art, dance, and song. My goal is to create a safe, nurturing, and imaginative environment where each child can grow confidently and authentically.

A little bit about me
Hello! I am a student at Cal Poly Humboldt and am looking for anyone who needs help with kids of all ages. I have been babysitting local families for years and am happy to give references! I am passionate about my studies and am always able to help kids with homework or learning as I do a lot of education as well as recreation with kids. I have experience in Marine Education with children as well as experience with both physical and mental challenges. I am a very upbeat person who loves to draw and run around with children, and often like to take them to the beach or somewhere outside as much as I can. II am looking for a family who is flexible as I am a student, and I can commit to being flexible outside of my school schedule. I look forward to whoever this may bring me to!

A little bit about me
I worked as a nanny throughout high school to two little kiddos, a little boy and a little girl. In the mornings I would prepare their breakfasts and pack their lunches for school while getting them to school on time. Over my summers while I've been at college I have worked as an activity leader at a summer camp in my home town watching over around 30 children for 8 hours a day in a classroom setting. I am also CPR and first-aid certified. I love working with children and am currently working towards my degree in psychology at Cal Poly Humboldt with a minor in childhood development.
