A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Alexis. I am 23 years old, and graduated from Cal Poly last spring. I have nannied/ babysat four children for the past five years who are currently ages 4, 7, 9, and 13. I have been babysitting since I was 14. I was raised by my grandparents, so there was always an abundance of kids running around! My nannying responsibilities included driving the children to their activities, making meals, helping with homework, and putting the kids to bed. During the days I would either take the children to a park or the beach to keep them active. I am able to handle chaotic situations!
