My name is Alexandrea. I am 30 years old. I’ve been working with kids since I was 16 years old. I have been babysitting for a little over 7 years now. I have a Master’s Degree in social work and enjoy babysitting in my free time. I currently work at a Middle school during the week and am available to babysit for date nights during the week and weekends. I believe that all children deserve to be loved and given a safe environment to have fun, learn and grow in.

I have been working with children professionally as a full time nanny for the past 23 years. I have extensive experience with newborns, infants, toddlers, and preschoolers, including experience with twins and in nanny shares. I love to form a bond with the children I work with; I have stayed with most of my nanny families from when their child was a newborn or infant until they began preschool, 2 to 3 years later. I love spending time with kids; they always keep me on my toes! I really enjoy reading books, singing and playing with babies and young children, and taking them out to the park on a nice day. I also incorporate my love of animals and nature in our day, as I love to teach children about the living world around them, and help to bring out their inner scientist. I grew up in the Northern Virginia area just outside of Washington DC; I got my AS at NVCC, before finishing up my BS in Biology at George Mason University. I lived in Portland, OR for over 10 years, before moving to Collinsville, IL in August 2022. In my free time I bike, hike, swim, practice yoga, and cook healthy meals.

My name is Crystal. I am 40 years young with lots of time in childcare. I have two grown young men both looking into being in the arts. One loves music and making sounds. The other a graphic arts designer. As high schooler, I took Child Development because I've always loved children. I would say I want ten however, I was only able to have two. I am looking to foster a child and adopt. I was adopted at two weeks old so I learned to love unconditionally at an early age. I love to teach. I took seven years of Spanish in school and I'm refreshing as I continue to teach. I'm also learning sign language. I have numerous clock hours and CPR training from my current and previous jobs. My goal is to open my own center and retire watching all my babies grow in productive and respectful individuals. I AM VERY COVID CAUTIOUS! My son is diabetic and lives at home.

It’s incredibly rewarding to know that I can be a trusted part of a family’s routine, helping parents feel confident when they need time for themselves, knowing their little ones are in safe hands. I’ve received CPR and First Aid certification, which ensures I’m ready for emergencies and can handle medical situations calmly and competently. I pride myself on being patient, attentive, and empathetic, creating an environment that promotes trust and comfort. I’m also skilled in conflict resolution, and I know how to deal with any issues calmly and diplomatically.
