Hi my name is Lexi! I am 28 years old. My past work experience has been with teenagers 12-17 year olds and this was teenagers who struggled with behavioral issues and trauma, so I do have experience with de-escalation and trauma informed. Although, I have a niece and a nephew who are 1 and 3 who I am very close to and have babysat on multiple occasions.
“I’ve had the privilege of working alongside Lexi for 4 years. She is very personable, professional, and punctual. She is able to turn a dull environment into something more exciting with her enthusiastic personality. As our friendship has grown I have seen how wonderful of a first time aunt she is. I 100% recommend Lexi as a babysitter for various ages.”
I have a wealth of experience working with young families, infants, and children. I have an AMI primary diploma from Montessori Northwest (2004) and worked in the Montessori community as a teacher, assistant and head of school as well as curriculum advisor. I completed a 17 hour course on infants in childcare from Care Courses in 2017. I provided infant care in my home in 2017, 18, and 23. I have a great respect for and interest in human development and believe in supporting foundations for developing emotional intelligence. I care about peaceful, respectful interactions with all people, but especially the very young. I raised two fabulous children and have been married for 36 years. I am a good cook and homemaker. I love to garden, knit, bake, and sew. I tinker with growing herbs, flowers and fruit. I like to hike and ride my bike.I perform stand up comedy for fun. I love singing and poetry.
I am an active petsitter. I am in school to work with children with disabilities. I’ve watched over a child younger than 9months. I have been a child care provider for PTA meetings at a local elementary school. I am a big sister with 4 younger siblings. I have plenty of experience with kiddos and pets! I love to be creative and adventurous!

"UrbanSitter is my go-to for quality sitters! I can book weeks ahead of time or easily find a same-day sitter when in a bind. I even hired a part-time nanny during a daycare transition. Customer service is helpful and babysitters respond in a timely manner."
