Hello! I'm Alexia, an occupational therapy student at the University of New Hampshire. I’m currently one of my internships for my degree in the Berkshires in a pediatric mental health setting. I absolutely love working with kids and have many years of formal and informal experience. I started out babysitting my younger cousin when I was around 12 and still have an amazing relationship with her today. I have also watched many of my parents' friends' children, of all different ages. I have professional experience working as a summer school and substitute teacher and as a therapeutic training and support specialist for children with mental and behavioral health needs. Some of my favorite things are animals, spending time outdoors, traveling, art/crafting, and baking; all experiences I would be delighted in sharing with your family. My friends and family would describe me as bubbly and on-the-go, I never waste time always Read more trying to make the most of every moment. I love to learn and am more than willing to help kids with homework and other learning opportunities!
