Alexandra $32 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Alexandra, 26 years old. I’m a responsible, friendly, and caring babysitter with 5 years of experience looking after kids of all ages, from babies to teens. I love getting creative with crafts and games, and I’m always happy to help out with cooking and light household tasks. Most of my experience comes from babysitting nieces and nephews of different ages, so I’m comfortable adapting to different personalities and needs. While I don’t hold a formal CPR/first-aid certification, I completed first-aid training in school and I’m always alert and prepared when caring for children. I’m available for morning shifts and on Saturdays, or at night after 8 PM. One recent family shared this about our time together: “Completely satisfied — she kept our son entertained for 7 hours straight with lots of variety. Impressively good.” (5 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐) I’d love the chance to meet your family and help care for your little ones!
