A little bit about me
I'd describe my personality as adventurous, energetic, and compassionate!
I like working with kids because I love helping them grow in any way possible!
I started working with kids when I was a preteen started off volunteering. When I got to high school I took classes to learn more like child development, taught a preschool class and student teaching at a middle school.
In my spare time, like to try new things! I especially love to try new food from around the world! I'm an outside person so anything to do with outdoors is my favorite.
One thing you should know about me is I love to learn. If something is difficult for me, I will try my hardest to accomplish it!
My skills include listening to the kids sometimes it's hard for kids to express their emotions. Being creative is also a big thing for me! I love doing art/activities with kids because that is another way for them to learn new things! Lastly is just caring for them the best way possible so they can feel safe always.

I enjoy working closely with children and their parents to ensure a fun, safe, and enriched environment. I love being active & busy.

Communication is a huge factor, and I ask that of my families as I will give the same to whomever I work with.
I keep a tidy area. Making sure to have any messes we make cleaned up and back in order.

A little bit about me
Hello! I'm Alexis :) I am currently a student studying elementary education. I have been working as a nanny for 3 years and babysitting/working with children since I was 16 years old. Furthermore, I have a very easy-going, sweet personality, but I am very hardworking and open to feedback and criticism. I love being outdoors, and I am very active, with lots of energy to keep up with the little ones. I love watching kids learn and contributing to their growth!
During my time as a nanny, I have worked with two families long term. I lovingly cleaned, played with, transported, and educated for children ranging from 1 to 3 years old. I am CPR certified, and I am currently working on becoming first aid certified as well. Thank you for your considering me, and I hope to hear from your family!
