Hi! My name is Alex Vasile. I am from San Antonio, Texas and have just moved to Dallas to attend school at Southern Methodist University. I am a full time student, and I work as a personal trainer and group exercise instructor at the Deadman Fitness Center here at school. I have been babysitting/acting as a Mother's Helper for about three years now. All of the families I have worked for have consisted of at least 2 children, usually both under the age of 6, and at least one dog. I love being around children of all ages! I do not mind dogs. I have a mastiff/german shepherd mix, whose name is Sadie. I am, however, very allergic to cats and guinea pigs. I volunteer for the Battered Women's Shelter and teach free group exercise classes to the homeless. I am not fluent but have a basic understanding of Spanish. I feel schedule and consistency are extremely important, especially for young children. I do not let my views on parenting conflict with those of my employers. I only parent children if that is what their mother or father have requested. Otherwise, I follow the same routine the kids are used to when their parents are home. I am very excited to be here in Dallas and can't wait to meet all of the wonderful families in the area. Please contact me by phone or email at any time! My schedule is very flexible and allows me to do mostly anything before or after school! I hope to hear from you all soon!
Ok I want to say first off that I would recommend her. PROS...friendly, trustworthy, likable CONS...30 min late (lost), priced too high for service, could not sooth my crying 4 month old (not necessarily her fault but for 20 bucks an hour, she should be the baby whisperer). If you use her you will like her just be aware of the ages of your kids and her price. My kids were asleep within the hour/hour and a half of her arrival...20 bucks is laughable! - Morgan G.
Alexandra says: I would like to take the opportunity to explain any of my actions that offended Ms. Morgan G: I am a stickler for punctuality. I am ALWAYS early wherever I go. I completely understand how this is identified as an issue. Unfortunately, my GPS had me going in every direction but the right one for 45 minutes. I am completely new to the area, so I rely very heavily on my GPS. I called the family to let them know that I was lost and stayed in touch with them until I arrived. In the future I will be sure to do a dry run to ensure I know exactly where I am going. As for my rate ($15 an hour plus $3 for additional children), I charged the same rate that I did when I was at home (San Antonio, TX). I have charged the same amount for the last several years and have never received a complaint based on the services I provided. If this rate seems excessive to any of the families I sit for, I am completely flexible. Although the four month old cried more than I have been accustomed to, I felt I was comfortable and confident in handling the situation. I appreciate the opportunity to clarify the situation and wish that I was aware of any discomfort while I was with the family. Thus, giving me the opportunity to make the necessary adjustments. Thank you, Alex Vasile

AMAZING! Alex is a true blessing to our family. I am a single mother with 3 children (6-15) so you can imagine how badly I needed a dependable, responsible, organized, smart person for my job. Alex is outgoing, polite, eager to please and most importantly - my children LOVE her! Alex follows instructions and directions to a "t". I cant say enough wonderful things about her. Anyone who has the opportunity to use her will be very lucky. Not only will your children adore her, but you, as a parent, will be able to know your children are in safe hands while having a great time. Gleith C. - Gleith C.
Alex was wonderful with my son! She responded quickly to my job posting, was early for the job, and we will definately be using her in the future! She has a very sweet personality, and my son is still asking for her several days later. - Jana M.
I hired Alexandra for a last minute babysitting job as my regular sitter cancelled and I had an engagement. She was very sweet and seems very reliable. I will use her again. - Alexandra M.
