Alex Walnut Creek
$22 per hour for 1 child

Hi my name is Alex, I have been working at a daycare for the past 2 years and I absolutely love working with kids of all ages. I love the one on one time with the kids the most and that is why I am looking for a change of pace. I absolutely love the great outdoors and doing creative things to help further the children’s development. I’ve been wanting to spend more one on one time with a few kids at a time so that I can really connect with them and watch them grow as little humans.
