Hello, I'm Alexa, a dedicated caregiver with a passion for working with children! I am currently pursuing a bachelors degree in Psychology at Brooklyn College. I have several years of experience ranging from working with infants to elementary aged children. I have worked with children of various backgrounds. I also have experience as a teaching assistant and with special needs children as well. I am CPR and First Aid certified. I am a big animal lover as I have a dog and two cats of my own and do not mind pets! My commitment to success drives me to provide the best care possible. I find joy in watching children flourish under my guidance. I can provide great references! **Willing to work in NYC and Long Island areas**

I have tons of experience working with children, especially those in the five and under range. I have previously worked as a camp counselor for preschool aged children, in which I was the lead counselor responsible for fifteen four year old children. I also used to be a swim coach, teaching assistant, and still babysit and teach swim lessons today. All of these jobs have given me a multitude of different experiences with kids and have taught me how to best work with them depending on the situation.
