Hi there! My name is Alexandra, Alex for short, I am 20 years old which is the perfect babysitter age if you ask me! I like to describe myself as old enough to be responsible and safe but still young enough to be silly and have a blast with your child(ren)! I have been babysitting since I was about 10 years old but where most of my experience comes from is helping raise my little sister (6) and brother (8). From the time they were born I was changing diapers, making formula, and waking up during the night with them. As they grew up and went through the "terrible 2's" I was right along side them taking toys to the face in the middle of tantrums and I have been there through every phase since then. I also was a camp counselor for the Boy Scouts of America for 3 Read more years and spent my summers and winters working with groups of 10-30 scouts, ages from 5-11. I guided them through crafts, swimming, hiking, basic survival and many more stations over the weekend. In my time there I won the award for "Most Enthusiastic" (AKA being super fun and energized with the kids) and "Best with Scout" award for being a favorite counselor of many of the campers. I love how rewarding working with kids is, if you have any other questions for me PLEASE don't hesitate to text or call! :)
