Elexxis  W., Babysitter in West Columbia, SC 29169 with 4 years of paid experience

Hello my name is Elexxis Wheeler. I have hands on experience working with children across a variety of age groups, from infants to the age of 10 years old since I was the age 17, in both home and group settings and programs. My childcare background includes everything from helping with daily routines and homework to planning fun activities that support learning and development. Being part of their growth and helping them feel safe, heard, and encouraged is something I’m truly passionate about. I truly enjoy creating a safe, fun, and engaging environment where kids can grow, learn, and just be themselves. What I love most about working with children is their creativity, honesty, and the way every day brings something new. Whether it’s helping with learning or just sharing a silly moment, I find so much joy in being a positive and supportive presence in their lives. A few fun facts about me: I love to sing, play basketball, go swimming and I’m also big fan of all things Disney. I enjoy engaging with children and getting creative with crafts, storytelling, and games that’ll keep kids laughing and learning. I look forward to getting to know your family and building great memories together!
