A little bit about me

Hello!
My name is Alexandra Barkley and I love children. I am 35 years old and live in Lexington, KY but am willing to travel. I went to school for elementary education and had dreams to become a teacher. My life took a different course which has given me experience with many different types of people. Growing up, my parents had a live-in nanny/caregiver who is still working for them today. I am tremendous respect for parents and how they chose to raise their kids. I am an artist and love to make people happy. Although I don’t have nanny experience, I have worked with adults in care my entire life.

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Kameron! I started working with children at a daycare for almost a year. During that time, I was a lead teacher for toddlers ages 1-3. I was also a floater and worked with infants sometimes. I took a position with a nanny agency and have been with them for 2 years now. I have been with 2 families in those 2 years. The first family was 2 boys ages 5-9, one was autistic. The second family was one baby who was 4 months old when I started, and I was with them for 1 yr & 3 mos. I have lots of experience with helping children reach developmental milestones. I love doing crafts with kiddos, and I am really great at entertaining them without technology. I absolutely love working with kids! It never feels like work to me. I pride myself on my reliability and punctuality.
