A little bit about me

*open to full time or part time*

I absolutely love the complex job of attuning to children to support them to learn and feel safe! I love play and believe play is the most serious work of child development. I balance my strong patience and understanding with clear boundaries when needed.

I have studied many forms of early childhood education and am influenced by forest school, Montessori, attachment-focused, consent-based, restorative justice, neurodiversity-affirming, Waldorf, and liberatory education models of childcare.

Infant CPR certified.
Drivers License & some car access. Vaccinated (4x Covid).
Covid-cautious - I will be masked in your home.
I love working with LGBTQ+ & non-traditional families.

A little bit about me

Hello! I'm Alexanda. With over 15 years of experience in early childhood education, I'm excited to introduce myself as your potential nanny. From 8 weeks to 15 years old, I've had the privilege of nurturing a wide range of children. Hailing from a family of educators, teaching and caring for children is not just a job but a cherished tradition passed down through generations. Inspired by the teachings of my mother and grandmother, both esteemed teachers, I believe in the power of kindness and gentle nurturing in guiding children. I've also had the honor of working with children with special needs, offering support and care tailored to their individual requirements. As a CPR-certified caregiver, safety is always my top priority. With a warm heart and a playful spirit, I am dedicated to creating a nurturing environment where children can learn, grow, and thrive.
