Hello! My name is Alejandra, I'm 19 years old. I'm currently a college student so I'm mostly open to part time or one time jobs preferably in late afternoon. I am a caring and patient person. I'm all for creating a safe and fun environment for children. I enjoy making crafts, going to the library, and visiting parks. l strive to learn and explore new things alongside kids to help them grow into their wonderful selves! I am offering childcare. It is something I enjoy. I'm the eldest of my siblings and quite often cared for them, I've been in childcare for quite bit. I've given care to kids of all ages but I'm more experienced with toddlers.

Response will be in 1 hour thanks I am a career nanny who is available for part time mornings Mon- Fri as the family I’ve been with for a year in the mornings has received a career opportunity in Europe. They will give me an excellent reference, of course. I seek guaranteed hours and I am available to start on the date that I am needed. I currently work with a family in the afternoon as their long-term nanny. Extensive experience as a nanny ( 13 years not all of my experience is listed on here, excellent references) Educator / Scholar ( currently attending) Parent (2 college kids) Currently holding all five star reviews from past and present clients through this platform. As a nanny I’m passionate about helping parents build up great kids. I’m currently taking online classes and will continue toward completion of my degree in Early Childhood Development and Psychology. I homeschooled both of my children until 1st grade ( both in college) Homeschooling is about planning, strategy and creativity. I consider myself a career nanny. In the last five years, I have regained experience in newborn , infants and toddlers ( this includes working with siblings and nanny share as well ) my calm, nurturing manner is reassuring to babies , children and parents alike. I feel that to be a a great nanny , you must have it in your heart . The character traits of patience, kindness, boundaries, empathy, compassion, calmness, acceptance, positive reinforcement, creativity, playfulness are all part of who I am. I am specialized in the areas of sleep training, routine establishment, developmental play and excellent soothing techniques. I also am very skilled in making baby food from scratch for high nutrition and health. I accept per diem work with toddlers / school age children and focus on teaching them breath work to calm themselves ( if an emotional outburst occurs) It is very common as they have many feelings and don’t always know what words to use to express it , this includes self regulation and choices including Baby Signing which encourages them to communicate well and become verbal communicators earlier. I have many other specialized skills to offer. In my free time I enjoy spending time with my family, cooking reading, dancing ( with my husband) sports like tennis, swimming, pickle ball, fast walking, and yoga for fitness. I believe that the secret to a happy life comes from having a deeply grateful heart.
