Booked by 1 family in Los Alamitos, CA

Hello I’m glad you’re here! My name is Alexandra. I am 30 years old and a devoted mother and wife. I am fluent in English and Spanish. I began caring for children at the age of 18 and have 5 years of experience outside of my own children I care for. I’ve cared for infants, toddlers and also young children ages 3-6 years old. I am completing my CPR & first aid certification so this can be provided to help ease your mind that your family is safe. I previously worked as a behavioral technician. I have experience working with children with ASD. Here is where I grew my love for the field of psychology and early childhood development. I am a full time mom & student. I attend school in the evenings. I would love to help families get back to things they love doing whether that be self-care, date nights or simply getting things done. You can also be returning to work or working from home. It can be very challenging to manage it all, as a mother / parent I salute you for taking the leap and getting the help you need ! It truly takes a village and I’d be honored to help. I love dogs own two myself ( corgi & pittie ) However I’m great overall with pets no allergies that I’m aware of! Can help feed them if necessary. Some of my hobbies include: reading, writing, arts & crafts and photography! I’m also great at cleaning & organizing, would love to help your family, including light tidying around the house. My focus when working with littles and children is to build that trust and relationship with them so I can help them grow and learn. From fine motor skills, to cognitive development. We will play together, sing dance and learn along the way. All of this can be tailored to your personal needs as a family. I have experience with a wide variety of children and individuals. Potty training ? Diapering ? Nothing new ! No judgment I’m here to help. What may work for your family, may not work for others. Each care can be individualized. Not all children are the same, Have a routine ? Im great at adapting to your routine and schedule. I look forward to getting to know you and your family. Thank you for taking a moment to learn a little about me. I’ll see you all very soon !

“Alexandra was very professional, she came and took the time to ask about each of my kids so she knows how to talk to each. Met each of my kids needs and was flexible with schedule, She was able to accommodate. Was able to built trust with my kids within minutes and that felt reassuring to me that they were in great hands. I have worked with Alexandra a few times and will continue to hire her when needed.”

Hello Families! I have been a nanny and babysitter for the past seven years. My journey began as a Kid's Club attendant at an Equinox gym. From there, I built bonds with the children and their parents whom eventually hired me to babysit their children for date nights and day time hours so they can run errands. I eventually became a part-time nanny for a few families resulting in various age groups I would get to play, read, and hang out with. I have experience in newborn, infant care, toddler care. Through my experience, I have built knowledge and stay up to date with appropriate age development. I hold a degree in Recreational Tourism Management. My favorite days as a nanny are park days. My least favorite days are none. That's the best thing about this gig, children never bring about a bad day. I look forward to meeting new families and playing, crafting, reading with children of all age groups.

"When we hired Amani, we felt like we hit the jackpot. We were very lucky to find her on UrbanSitter at the beginning of school year. She was picking up kids from school, taking them to afternoon activities, helping them with assignments. She prepped food for them, helped organize their closets and keep their spaces neat and orderly. We would hire her again in a heartbeat."
