Hi! I’m a senior year nursing major at JMU with plans to join the Navy once I graduate. I’m home for the summer and I’m looking for babysitting/nannying jobs to occupy my time.

Alexandra $20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Ironsides, MD
It’s always a great feeling when you have someone dependable for quality care. Look no further! My name is Alexandra and I’ve been working with children infant to school age for more than 14 plus years. I gained my first experience working aside my grandmother as an elementary teacher, until she was promoted to principal. After retiring she decided to continue her love for children when she opened her own licensed preschool. At that time I was very young but always said when I grew up I wanted become a teacher. That dream became reality! Today I have not only stuck with early childhood education but now an assistant director at a preschool where I can continue to utilize my creativity through education. I’m loving, caring, honest, fun and enjoy daily making a difference in our little lives life.
