Hello!!! My name is Alexa Silverman, and I am 23. I graduated from Ithaca College in May of 2025 with my BA in Sociology and a minor in Health. I am currently working in an under-resourced high school. My career goal was to go back to school to get my Master's in Social Work, but my plans have changed. At the moment, I am discovering what my passions are in life. One passion of mine I'm able to identify is community. Additionally, I love the outdoors, skiing, cooking, art, crafting, and reality TV.

A little bit about me
I am a warm, intuitive, and deeply present nanny who brings calm, consistency, and genuine care into the homes I work in. I naturally connect with children by meeting them where they are emotionally, while gently guiding them toward confidence, independence, and kindness. I focus on creating a safe, nurturing environment where kids feel seen, heard, and supported—whether we’re engaging in imaginative play, settling into quiet moments, or moving through daily routines.
I’m reliable, thoughtful, and highly attuned to the rhythms of family life. I understand that great caregiving is just as much about emotional steadiness as it is about structure. With a grounded, patient presence and clear boundaries, I support both children and parents, helping daily life feel more balanced, easeful, and trustworthy.
