A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Alexandria! Working in child care has been my passion for over 10 years. I started babysitting my little brother at a very young age and was officially working for a family part time with 4 kids under 7 at the age of 16! I went on to work for a daycare center as an Assistant Teacher in the infant room while also working in a group home with disable women. Over 10 years later and I've now been a personal Nanny for 3 different families, contributing care to 7 amazing kids. Beside my passion for nurturing children and supporting families I enjoy spending time with my dog, reading, drawing, gardening, and quality time with friends and family.
