"From the start, Alexis has helped maintain the routine I was building with my daughter from potty training to keeping her active by bringing her out to play in parks and water play. I’m very appreciative of Alexis’s help from the moment she started helping and I still use her help from time to time."

A little bit about me
I'm 25 years old and have a deep passion for both children and animals, particularly cats. I’ve had the privilege of rescuing and fostering over 30 cats, working closely with a local cat café in Upstate New York. My energetic, bubbly personality makes me great at connecting with children, and I thrive in multitasking and managing stressful situations. Currently, I nanny for four very active boys aged 12, 11, 9, and 4, including one with ADHD/ADD and another with high-functioning autism. This experience has strengthened my patience, creativity, and adaptability. I’m excited for the opportunity to bring my skills and positive energy to a new family. I also have a past in Criminal Justice at HVCC and graduated with an associate’s in Massage Therapy at Mildred Elley and recently acquired my Massage Therapy License in the NY.

A little bit about me
I am a career nanny. I believe strongly in Child-led learning environments. I do this by tailoring specific milestones, challenges, and conditions to each child to help development and growth. I have work with infants up to the ages of 13. I bring in a mixture of arts, culture, cooking, problem solving and mechanical activities for each age range. I believe that children learn best when they are encouraged to try things themselves, with the support there when needed. I believe this instills self-confidence, natural boundaries, consequences and the communication skills needed for life, as well as a knowledge that asking for help is okay. I design each activity to stimulate multiple developmental sections at a time. I try to involve children in everyday activities like cooking, to develop early learning of life skills, exploration of new foods, and cultures. I believe that children who are excited, encouraged, and able to self-explore while learning are the children who flourish later.
