More About Me
My experience with special needs children...
I have experience working with children k-6 in special education in the public school system mostly supporting children with Down syndrome and autism. I have experience with children who have behavioral issues such as aggression, pica, elopement, and destruction. I also spent a year and a half nannying a 7 year old with autism who communicated mostly through his AAC device and sign language.
My approach to these behaviors is through compassion and consistency. I am aware life can bring huge emotions and for children who still do not have the tools to communicate them can be quite frustrating so they need to express themselves somehow. Having this understanding reflects the way I teach and guide children by consistently reinforcing appropriate behaviors, setting small achievable goals that encourage the process and rewarding positive behaviors.

Full-Time Child Care Provider Available in Portland, OR: Alexandria Y.
Hi! My name is Alexandria. I’m 20 years old and someone who naturally brings a lot of energy, patience, and care into everything I do. I love being around kids and creating a safe, fun, and positive environment where they feel comfortable and supported.
I am currently in college working on my prerequisites, however my schedule is pretty open so I am looking for some way to keep myself busy!
I’m very organized and attentive, so I’m good at keeping routines on track, helping with daily tasks, and staying on top of things without being asked.
I’m responsible, reliable, and take my role seriously, especially when it comes to a child’s safety and well-being. I also understand how important it is to communicate well with parents and respect your home, your rules, and your parenting style.
I’d love the opportunity to be someone your family can depend on and to bring a positive, caring presence into your home. Thank you for considering me!
Sincerely,
Alexandria
