A little bit about me

Hi everyone,
My name is Alexa. I have worked with kids the past 3 years. I am RBT and CPR certified and have worked with kids who are on the spectrum. I currently work at a preschool where we ensure our kiddos are structured and use functional communication. Since I am going back to school in August for my teacher's credential, I will need to quit my current job to make sure I focus on school. However, I still want to be working with kids as my career will revolve around kids.

In addition to childcare, I’m happy to help with light housekeeping to help keep things running smoothly at home.
I look forward to connecting with families who value kindness, creativity, and care.
