Hi! I am professional nanny/babysitter in the Nashville,Clarksville,Ft. Campbell, & Oak Grove communities .  I have been working with children since I was 14 yrs of age. I graduated from Austin Peay State University majoring in Early Childhood Education. During my college yrs I worked as a PreSchool/Daycare teacher @ The Village PreSchool of Woodlawn with children ages 2-12. After being asked by a family at the facility, I then decided to work with less children and become a nanny and now have 15 yrs of experience. I work for mostly military families and familiar with large families with children ranging in ages from 7wks-14 yrs of age. I am capable of handling 5 or more children at a time. I also have experience with being fulltime guardianship to children in situations where parents have to leave for days,wks, and months at a time due to deployment/vacations. I also have experience Read more with special needs children. I am certified CPR (child,infant,and adult) also First Aid, certified in Sudden Death Syndrome. I have also completed 45 hr of infant and child development as well as 90 hrs certified Early Childhood Education and 300 hrs certified Child Daycare Specialist. I am very experienced and confident. I am a hard worker and self-motivated, I am very energetic, have a great sense of humor, I am fun but yet firm with children. I like to keep things organized and able to multi-task. I am a great cook and like to keep things tidy and clean around the house. I am always looking to learn how to be better at what I do. I am a fast learner and take good directions. I am able to adapt to changing schedule. I believe it is very important to have a good line of communication. Being a nanny is how I make a living but its not only a job to me it means something to help make a difference in a child's life, to see them grow, and be a positive role model to the children. Be there for the families when parents aren’t available. I understand parents need an extra set of hands and security, I can ensure the parents that everything will be taken care of smoothly and calmly and provide a safe and loving atmosphere for the children. I have the motherly touch and patience that is needed in childcare. I also have a  12 yr old daughter myself. I am currently a stay at home/homeschooll mom! If you are interested in interviewing me and have further questions please feel free to contact me.

Alexa has been our go-to sitter for over a year and my kids and I love her. She is always on time and available when we need her. We have a special needs child and she is great with him and he loves her. We recommend her. You will not be disappointed. Amazing childcare service!!!!!

Alexa has gained my respect as an educated and proficient sitter/Nanny. I would clearly recommend her to anyone needing a dependable, honest and trustworthy caregiver. She also has a clear interest in the well being of my child while I am at work. She is the reason I am able to work !!

Alexa is now our "go to" sitter. She is extremely professional and personable. She arrives early, takes great care of the kids, leaves detailed notes of the evening, and leaves the house cleaner than when I left it. I like the fact that she is a mother herself, and I feel this shows in how she interacts with our kids. I highly recommend her.

Our kids love Alexa and can't wait until she can come back! We needed a sitter shortly after moving to the area, before we knew anyone to ask. Sittercity to the rescue! Alexa was available for all three dates we needed. She was very professional. I was able to just set a few things out for meals and she was able to feed them, plus she washed all the dishes and had everything neat and tidy when we returned home. We will use her again for sure!

We exchanged a few times by e-mail for a childcare job. She was always prompt to reply. Unfortunately, all things considered, she was not the best fit for our daughter at this time, but I'm sure she will do well as a childcare provider in another setting. Charles and Susan

My husband and I needed a babysitter for a weekend away for our two daughters, ages 12 and 5. We ended up stuck in the flooding in Nashville. Things didn't go as planned but Alexa was more than willing to accomadate the circumstances. The girls loved her and I would definately have her provide care for my kids again.

Excellent sitter! I gave her very short notice to care for my four year old and she was able to make it happen! My daughter was very happy and has asked to see Ms. Alexa again! Even though it was such short notice, I'm talking about a few hours she still gave the same price and it was reasonable! I would recommend Alexa any day!

Alexa was on time and was very professional. I was very impressed by her level of attentiveness to the children immediately upon arrival. She fed the children and straightened the kitchen, played with them on their level (according to our chldren), and had everything quiet and ready for bed when we came home. The children all did well with her and we will definitely use her in the future!

She was a very caring and fun babysitter. My daughter loved coloring and spending time with Alexa.

Although I thought she was a good babysitter. She stated on the web site that she charged $5-$10. I assumed that would be $5-$10 an hourly wage, but that was per child. I never have paid $40.00 for 2 hours.
