Booked by 4 families in Garner, NC

I am a compassionate, patient, and attentive individual who understands the unique needs of children. My ability to communicate effectively, provide a safe and nurturing environment, and engage kids in meaningful, age-appropriate activities makes me an excellent caregiver. Additionally, my reliability, adaptability, and commitment to fostering their growth and development ensure that children feel supported and cared for in my presence. I love children and have worked managing a children’s museum that was very hands on with child care. Im currently finishing my Masters degree in education to be an elementary teacher.

Booked by 1 family in Garner, NC

Hi! I’m Alexandra, a Human Development and Family Studies major at UNCG with ECE credentials and daycare experience. I offer child care, pet care, and household services. I’ve been babysitting since I was 14 and have cared for children of all ages from newborns to teens. I also cook, clean, run errands, and love pets (I have a German Shepherd named Zeus!).

“This was the first time we ever hired a babysitter to watch our 3yo and we were a little nervous about it but were so glad we did. Alexandra is such a sweetheart! We got updates during and our daughter seemed so content when we got home. We will definitely hire her again in the future. ”

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
