A little bit about me
I’ve had the joy of working with children ages 0–5 for over five years. My journey began in preschool classrooms, then led me to teaching toddlers, and now I’m lucky enough to work as a nanny. Over time, I’ve come to deeply value the beauty of building one-on-one connections with children.
My approach is always child-led—I believe each child has their own unique way of learning and experiencing the world, and I do my best to follow their lead. It’s truly a privilege to get to know each child as an individual and to adapt my care in a way that honors who they are and what they need.

Hey there!
I have worked with kiddos for several years, I worked as a co teacher through an early learning academy for ages 2-4. Later I got a position working as an ELA tutor for 5th graders who were struggling with their reading and writing. I think children have brilliant, curious, and exuberant minds and I love expanding my world view by looking at theirs.
I intend to provide a safe and caring environment while caretakers need to go take care of themselves! I am happy to work with you to ensure your kiddos needs are being met in whatever unique ways have already been established at home. Please reach out with your questions and concerns! Lets chat over the phone or even meet up to make sure I'm a good fit for your life.

A little bit about me
Hi! :) My name is Alexandra. I am passionate about working with children, primarily ages 1-5.
I most enjoy imaginative play and fostering hands-on learning! I've worked as a student aide for The French American International School here in Portland and also have experience as a part-time private nanny for several families.
I feel that I connect with children on the spectrum for autism or other areas of neurodivergence in a special way too, as I am an autistic-ADHD-er myself.
I am in search of part-time or occasional work, can assist with overnight stays, and am also open to longer-term possibilities. Please reach out if you have any additional questions or are in need of references.
Best,
Alexandra
