Meet Alexa
- Comfortable with pets
I started watching children at a young age, around 9-10. At first they were just my nieces and nephews, Or my mothers friends children or grandchildren. Then as I got older my mothers friends would recommend me to their friends and since then I would say I've babysat for almost over 20 different couples and I still have a bond with the children that I still see til this day. My most recent babysitting job was for a mutual work friend, I looked after an 8yr old,7yr old, 4yr old,2yr old and an infant. I worked for them for 2 years from 5am-5pm but unfortunately had to leave due to decrease in pay. I do not have any certifications, besides CPR. but I can assure you I know what I'm doing and all kids cling to me like magnets.
