I’m a certified teacher with a Master’s degree and five years of classroom experience teaching grades 3–8, along with substitute teaching across grade levels. I bring my educational background into childcare through calm, nurturing care that balances structure, play, learning, creativity, and plenty of room for children to be themselves. I’m a mom to a 5-year-old son starting kindergarten this fall and a 2-year-old daughter. For weekday daytime care, my daughter would accompany me. I offer childcare, academic support, and enrichment, including reading intervention, writing support, homework help, and hands-on learning tailored to each child’s interests and learning style. I love reading, outdoor play, music, crafts, imaginative play, nature exploration, and discovering new things alongside children. I’m dependable, have reliable transportation, am comfortable with light childcare-related housekeeping, and references are available upon request.

I always loved working with children from a young age. Before I was old enough to babysit I was a mothers helper to learn all that involved with caring for a child. I have babysat dozens of families and still continue to. I started small in my community and from glowing references I expanded outside my community. Not only do I love to babysit and nanny, I also love to teach children. I gained a lot of babysitting opportunities through my tutoring. I am CPR certified and First Aid. I used to be a life guard so I am qualified to watch children in the water.

Alex has truly been amazing with our 2 boys! She babysat for us for date nights most of the summer, we will miss her very much when she goes back to school. The boys absolutely love her and are always very excited when she comes to babysit. She is organized, very sweet, always cleans up after them and outs everything away, is very good with the schedule we provide, punctual, respectful and overall one of the best babysitters we have ever had. We cannot wait for her return from school next summer.

Annia G.
We had a great experience with Jayti, who cared for our two children for a full week. She was reliable, punctual, and handled daily responsibilities smoothly, including picking them up from school, preparing meals, and getting them ready for bed each evening. She was calm, attentive, and engaging with the kids, which helped them feel comfortable and well cared for right away. Communication was clear and consistent, and we always felt confident that our children were in good hands. We would absolutely recommend her to other families and we are looking forward to working with her again.

Natalie Denize-Scott cared for my three children from October 2013 to May 2026, including my twins since birth. She is dependable, nurturing, patient, and truly caring. Natalie helped with daily childcare, transportation, meal prep, bottle sterilizing, formula prep, and light housekeeping. My children loved her, and I always felt confident leaving them in her care. I highly recommend her to any family seeking a trustworthy and compassionate nanny or caregiver.
