Meet Alexis
- Comfortable with pets
- Has a car
I am a 22 year old student at The University of Connecticut and I am working towards my degree in Dietetics to become a Registered Dietitian in May 2017. I am in my last year of classes and have a schedule that allows me to babysit or help around the house in mostly afternoons, nights and weekends. As for my experience, I worked as a camp counselor and dietary intern at the Hole in the Wall Gang Camp, a sleep away camp for children 6-16 years old with life threatening illnesses. I have also been a patient care assistant for a quadriplegic man. Aside from these experiences, I have also cared for my three year old niece many times over the past years. I don't have a preference for a certain age range and am comfortable with all ages. I also enjoy pets and even have three of my own! Read more I spent the past summer working outside at camp, so I encourage outdoor exploration, as well as arts and crafts. I am also comfortable helping with homework if needed. Most of my classes at the University of Connecticut have been science, math, and health related. Hope to hear from you!
