Alexis D., Child Care in Otter Lake, MI 48464 with 3 years of paid experience

Hi! My name is Alexis I am currently a college student studying psychology. I have hands-on experience working as an assistant caregiver for foster care families, where I developed strong skills in nurturing, supporting, and engaging with children from various backgrounds. On top of that, I have experience babysitting elementary-age kids. In addition to my caregiving experience, I am a certified child tutor, which allows me to assist children with their educational needs in a fun and interactive way. I also have over 100 hours of volunteer experience at the Family Literacy Center, where I worked with children and families to promote learning and literacy development. I am committed to providing a safe, supportive, and positive environment for your children, whether helping with homework, engaging in creative activities, or simply offering a caring presence when you need a break. I look forward to the opportunity to work with your family!

Alexis has been getting my daughter ready and on the bus for school every day. She's so sweet, trustworthy, kind, and caring. We are so happy to have her as our babysitter! My daughter absolutely loves her! She's always on time, and keeps me informed about everything. I highly recommend her for anyone needing care for their school aged child.

Hi there! I am a dedicated, patient, and energetic childcare professional looking for a wonderful full-time family to support. Over the last four years, I have worked professionally as a Behavior Technician and a Para-Educator, which I pair with a lifetime of private babysitting experience across all age groups. Why I Love Being a Sitter For me, childcare isn't just a job—it’s a passion. I love being a steady, encouraging presence in a child's life and helping them navigate the world. There is nothing more rewarding than earning a child's trust, finding creative ways to keep them actively engaged without screens, and watching them reach new milestones. I love building long-term bonds with families and creating a safe, positive environment where kids can truly thrive. My Experience Through my roles as a para-educator and behavior tech, I have extensive experience managing structured daily schedules, leading early childhood learning activities, and supporting children with diverse needs. Because of this background, I am highly skilled at creating smooth routines, managing transitions (like naptime, bedtime, or homework time), and helping kids build confidence and independence. Combined with my lifelong experience babysitting for local families, I am comfortable caring for multiple children at once, from infants to school-aged kids. Skills & Training Positive Behavior Support: Professionally trained in behavior management, de-escalation, and reinforcing positive choices with patience and calm. Educational Engagement: Skilled at planning age-appropriate, screen-free learning activities, reading development, and homework assistance. Daily Management: Comfortable managing meal prep, light tidying, maintaining strict nap/activity schedules, and adapting to a family’s specific household routines. Reliable & Safe: I pride myself on being exceptionally dependable and punctual, and I am comfortable with household pets! I would love to bring my professional background and genuine love for kids to your home. I look forward to connecting and learning more about your family!

I enjoy and invested in quality bred animals to share this wonderful breed with others. My goal is to contribute to growing happy well established children achieving their goals and confidence in themselves. Being a nurturing person at heart has always been a joy in where I want to bring happiness to others.
