Hello, I graduated from the University of California Santa Cruz. Following my studies at UCSC, I returned to Mira Costa community college to complete my 12 Early Childhood Education credits. I come from a family of four girls, 2 older sisters and one younger sister. Throughout high school, I volunteered at the local library reading program. I volunteered at bible school where I was responsible for supervising groups of 4-5 preschool aged kids. I also worked as a babysitter for family friends and neighbors throughout high school, with experiences babysitting up to four kids at once. When I turned 16, I started working at the city pool and taught swim lessons there for five years for kids ranging from 3 to 15 years old. In college, I interned for a Kindergarten classroom at a school for children with autism and gained one-to-one instructional experience. I worked as a paraprofessional in Read more MA for 3 years in a Pre-k classroom for children with autism. I received my Master’s degree in Special Education from UW in August 2019. I currently work full time with children with autism ages 2-18 I am certified by the American Red Cross in Adult CPR/AED, Infant CPR, & First Aid. I am only accepting date night or one time positions as I am employed with a full time job. PLEASE NOTE: I am happy to work with children with disabilities. However, if your child has a disability I expect full disclosure BEFORE watching your child (for any developmental, social/emotional, or behavioral special needs). This is for my safety and the safety of your child.

We were visiting Boston from Toronto, Canada, and were worried about leaving our daughter (who is 3) with someone we didn't know. Alexandra was fantastic - punctual, lovely, and very responsible. She asked a number of questions about things I hadn't thought to tell her - allergies, etc. I highly recommend her!

We were lucky enough to have Alex's help for few nights while out in Boston. She was very understanding about last minute schedule changes and our son had a great time with her. We had no concerns or issues, glad to have someone we knew would take great care of our son while we went out. Thank you Alex!
