A little bit about me

I love helping families have some ease in their lives so they can spend quality time with their children. Since I was a teacher, I am always interested in helping young minds develop. And I am passionate about making sure everyone has healthy food options, and time for exercise and play --including dancing, singing and yoga. Oh, and I "speak" dog, and a (very) little Italian.

Hi families! My name is Alejandra, I’m 26 and originally from Colombia. I have 6 years of experience working with children, starting in my adolescence and later in a company supporting wellness and development programs for employees’ children.

I am CPR and First Aid certified, have a driver’s license, and strong references available. I am looking for a respectful family where we can build trust through open communication and teamwork while supporting the children’s growth and well-being.
