I'm a Registered Behavior Technician who loves caring for both children and animals. My career has taught me the importance of patience, responsibility, and providing compassionate, individualized care—qualities I bring to every pet I look after. I'm a proud pet parent to my sweet tabby cat, Milo, and my Great Pyrenees mix, Sadie. They are truly part of my family, so I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, happy, and loved while you're away. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping a familiar routine, I'll treat them with the same care and attention I give my own.

Booked by 1 family in Selma, 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!"
