Hello! My name is Alexa and I recently graduated from Penn State University, I have worked as a sitter and daycare assistant for years and have found so much joy in working with children in the past. I pride myself on being not only an employee for the family, but also a companion and friend to the kiddos I am fortunate enough to care for. I have experience working with children of all ages and as a past lifeguard have formal life-saving training and certifications. I also have a cleared background check available upon request. I consider myself adaptable, responsible, and most importantly reliable in everything I do.
