Hi there, I'm Alexis! I've cared for children in both home and camp/school settings for over 10 years. I'd love to meet your family! With experience as an art teacher, a volleyball coach, a babysitter, and a tutor, I have a wide range of experience working with kids! I'm excited to meet you!
“Alexis has been watching my 2 year old since he was around 6 months, and has been a staple for our family. She is responsive, reliable and always punctual. Alexis is so great with our son, and he really looks forward to their time together. Leaving him with her is never a concern, and something our whole family looks forward to. I cannot recommend Alexis highly enough.”
Hello! I bring decades of experience to your family as I am a mother, and I babysit my nieces and nephews. I am well versed in STEM-based teaching curriculum and arts-based learning. I hold a UCLA degree and am fully fluent in English and Spanish. I am also a trained birth doula to support new parents. I also successfully raised my son, who is now in college. Aside from babysitting, I am willing to run errands and do your family’s grocery shopping. I am community-minded and recently won an award from the LA County for Human Relations - LA vs Hate project, I love to laugh, teach children how to read, write and do crafts and art projects. I can also teach your children some basic capoeira moves. I am willing to commute kids to school and prepare healthy meals. I also love being around elders from your family and am willing to run errands for them as well. Feel free to reach out and I’d be happy to send you my resume.

Hello! I am a compassionate, dependable caregiver with extensive experience working with children from infancy through adolescence. My background includes providing care and support to children in a variety of settings, including vulnerable and underserved populations, where patience, adaptability, and strong relationship-building skills are essential. I am passionate about helping children feel safe, supported, and engaged. I enjoy creating fun, enriching experiences through performing arts, imaginative play, crafts, sports, and other physical activities that promote confidence and creativity. I also have experience working with adolescence on the autism spectrum. Whether caring for an infant, keeping up with an energetic toddler, or connecting with a teenager, I tailor my approach to meet each child’s unique needs and interests. Families can count on me to provide attentive supervision, encourage positive behavior, and maintain a nurturing environment where children can learn, grow, and have fun. I am experienced with daily routines, meal preparation, bedtime routines, and age-appropriate activities that foster both emotional well-being and personal development. Additionally, I have extensive experience in the performing arts, including acting, singing, and dance. In my free time, I enjoy decorating, arts and crafts, and spending time with my family and friends. Through American Red Cross, I am certified in both Pediatric (Child and Baby) First Aid / CPR / AED, and Babysitting. My goal is to provide parents with peace of mind while ensuring their children feel cared for, respected, and encouraged to be their best selves.
