Hi, I'm Alexa and my passion is making children smile. I will take children on trips to the park, museums, and other child-friendly activities on a regular basis because I'm constantly inspired by a children learning new things. I currently work as a teacher's aid at an elementary school in the Lower East Side as well as a part-time babysitter for a family on the Upper East Side. I work with children ages 3-11, and am CPR and First Aid certified. At the school, I assist students in class with ELA and math help, as well as behavior and attendance help. I also work after school with students on homework help and running afterschool clubs. I'm very comfortable transporting children to playdates or other events in the city, as well as coming up with fun, non-screen activities for them to do on a rainy day. I've worked as a nanny Read more for a single mother who's daughter was 3 at the time, and as a summer camp counselor for several years. I'm most comfortable with children ages 3-14.

I am writing in reference to Alexa L, who sat about 6 times for our son, Charlie in the summer of 2016. Alexa was positive yet firm with Charlie and stuck to a schedule well. She took him to the local park each time and sometimes out for pizza. We liked that Alexa had a flexible schedule and was responsive to texts in a timely fashion. We would recommend Alexa for babysitting in NYC and if you have any further questions in regards to my reference, please do not hesitate to contact me. Take care Debra and Jade
