A little bit about me

Hi, my name is Alejandra. I’m twenty year old Venezuelan living in San Francisco.

I have been offering child care, since I was 16. I love taking care of others, teaching them, and sharing family values. I grew up in a big family surrounded by infants, toddlers, and kids, so my experience started from home. My responsibilities have included crafts, tutoring, and even dance lessons since I’m a professional Flamenco dancer with a certificate from Spain.
