Hello - My name is Alexis. I have seven years of experience as a babysitter and nanny and have cared for children of all ages — from infants to preteens. I love to do arts and crafts, drawing, painting, and coloring with the kids. I also love board games, lego, hide and seek, and reading stories. I was a volunteer at a Waldorf summer camp for four years, where I worked with children in early childhood. Then I was a nanny for a wonderful family with two children who were seven and ten at the time. I worked at a Waldorf school as the Aftercare teacher and program director for almost two years. I was also a sub for the teachers and their assistants. I supervised children of all temperaments and ages as aftercare was offered to kindergarten through fifth grade. On a typical day I usually watched about 15+ children, while cleaning the yard, helping the older children with homework, coordinate with the parents and teachers, and getting the children signed out for the day. I have two associates degrees from Pierce College. I have a degree in Elementary Teacher Education and a degree in Social and Behavioral Sciences. I currently attend CSUN, where I am getting my teaching credential and bachelors in Liberal Studies. I genuinely love working with kids and plan on becoming an elementary teacher. Specifically, I would like to teach kindergarten or first grade. I am patient, calm, and caring. I am CPR, First Aid, and AED certified. I have no criminal record whatsoever and can provide a full background along with references.

Alexis was immediately polite and willing to play with our girls. She listened to our routines and worked with them. The girls warmed up to her and even felt comfortable doing imaginary play and books together. She was a great sport about going with it too. She also was respectful and put things away.

My name is Angie, and I’m a 24-year-old with over 7 years of babysitting experience. I currently work at a private Christian school in the valley, where I’ve had the privilege of caring for and teaching children of all ages. I absolutely love being a helping hand to parents, especially when it comes to giving them a chance for a much-needed date night! I understand how important it is to have those moments to reconnect. I’m also recently married and excited to start working with new families. I look forward to providing safe, fun, and caring support for your little ones while you enjoy some time for yourself!

My family is so glad we found Angelica! She is dependable and punctual. Her energy is positive and fun, and she is patient, sweet and overall great with kids.
