Meet Alexandra

  • Has a car

My name is Ali, and I am a recent graduate from the University of Kansas.  I currently live in the Leawood, KS area.  I may eventually puruse a master's degree, but I have no current schooling plans right now.  So, I have lots of availability and flexibility in my scheduling. I am interested in a part time job or full time position, and I am hoping to find a great family (or two) to work with!  I truly enjoy spending time with (and caring for) children of all ages!  I am willing to travel, so that I can help out with families in Overland Park, Lenexa, Mission, Shawnee, Leawood, Olathe areas...as well as some locations in the Lees Summit and Kansas City, MO areas. I would love to help out with any child-care needs that you have. I do have my own car and a clean driving record and such.  Read more I have been trained in CPR and basic first aid care.  I  have even had some nursing training, and I was certified as a CNA (certified nurse's aide).  I have about 12 years of baby-sitting and childcare experience. I began baby-sitting at age 11, and I've had so many wonderful experiences caring for children and families. I’ve been a volunteer for Vacation Bible School at my church and worked with children many times through mission work and various volunteering. Additionally, I worked as a nanny for an Overland Park family on the weekends, from 1999-2007.  I would love to help out on a regular or an irregular basis.  If you need care a few times a week, or in the evenings or weekends, or whenever you might need an extra hand, I'm definitely available! I’m available most days and nights of the week, including weekend days and nights. If you have any interest, please do give me a call. I look forward to the possibility of working with you and your family. I am also available for other household help, grocery shopping, carpooling, running errands, house-sitting, pet-sitting...etc. Best regards, Ali

Ali is fantastic! She is always on time and wonderful with our three kids. She searches for new things to do with the kids and engages with them as soon as she walks in the door.

I thought that she was helpful, she was not able to offer me the hours I wanted but gave me other options of suggestions of weekend help. I was please that she gave me some information that would help me in the future. Thanks again
