Experience: I’ve babysat in Poland, worked as an au pair for twin 4-year-old girls during my first year, and two boys (6 and 9 years old) on second year.

Booked by 6 families in Oakland, CA

Hi! My name is Alexis, and I’m a third-year Psychology major at the University of San Francisco. I have a deep passion for working with children, which began when I was twelve years old. With over six years of experience, I’ve cared for kids ranging in age from 9 months to 13 years. I’m comfortable with a wide range of responsibilities, from engaging in creative play and helping with homework to maintaining a safe and supportive environment. I’m CPR certified and trained in AED and First Aid, so safety is always a top priority in my care.

“Alexis was great. My two kiddos had a good time. ”

Booked by 1 family in Oakland, CA

I’m the middle child of six, so moderating sibling conflict is something I’m extensively familiar with. This also means I have a ton of nieces and nephews, so I’ve had experience with children from infants up to high school. Arts and crafts are my jam! Anything artsy is right up my alley. I’m also reasonably good at most ball sports (don’t ask me to surf though; it’s not pretty) and like the outdoors. I’m a hands-on learner, so I try to impart any academic lessons in a fun, participation-oriented way to keep kiddos engaged. I’m also an experienced housekeeper, cook, and pet sitter (I’m a current cat servant -iykyk- and grew up with dogs, cats, hamsters, chickens, sheep, lizards, and horses).

“Cody was great. The kids had lots of fun with her. ”
