Hello, My name is Alexandra, I’m 51 a semi retired masters level social worker. I have about 30+ years of experience. focused jobs and be able to work with kids in a more organic way. I am known to be silly, conscientious, reliable and very compassionate. I truly enjoy being with kids of all ages and find it meaningful to help them experience the world in thoughtful, creative, playful and secure ways. I try to make things seem like an adventure and address conflicts as opportunities for growth. I am also very good with infants and have experience with sleep training. I see my job as being both a coach and a mama bear. If anything does arise I am extremely well trained, calm and focused in an emergency. I’ve been CPR and First Aid trained for over 30 years. As a parent and family social worker I have learned many effective behavior management techniques for kids ages birth to 100. I believe it's extremely important to provide each family the specific care they want and to honor the norms, needs and values of the household.The most important thing to know about me as a childcare provider is that I will take care of your children, pets and household the way you want me to. I believe taking responsibility for the well-being of any child means you always put them first. Choosing the right person to care for your child and trust them in your home is the most important decisions a person can make. I welcome any and all kinds of questions or requests and can make myself available for online interviews at your convenience. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, Alexandra Sagov MSW

Hi there! I have my Master’s degree in Educational Psychology with a concentration in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). I’m passionate about helping children learn, grow, and feel supported in a nurturing environment. I’m also a proud mom to a fun and energetic 3-year-old boy, so I fully understand the importance of patience, safety, and engaging play. I offer childcare either in my home (which is child-friendly and comfortable) or can accommodate having my son with me if preferred. With my background in psychology and hands-on parenting experience, I focus on creating positive routines, promoting learning through play, and making sure every child feels cared for and understood. If you’re looking for a reliable, educated, and caring sitter who truly enjoys working with kids, I’d love to connect!
