Hello! My name is Alexis, and I provide childcare and tutoring services. I grew up and currently live in Anaheim. I just finished my undergrad at Azusa Pacific University, where I studied finance and was a member of the women’s soccer team. Having lived in Southern California my whole life, I am very familiar with the area and enjoy being active, responsible, and engaged in my community. I have over 7 years of childcare experience, starting at age 15, and I genuinely love working with children. My background includes: • Caring for cousins, nieces, and nephews from a young age—helping with cooking, reading, swimming, and daily activities. • Babysitting for multiple families through UrbanSitter. • Tutoring students from elementary through high school in subjects such as reading, science, and math (2nd grade, 3rd grade, and freshman level). I strive to bring energy, responsibility, and respect to every family I work with. I am also CPR and AED certified, ensuring safety is always a priority. In addition to childcare, I am comfortable working with pets—whether your family has cats, dogs, or both. I would be happy to bring my experience and enthusiasm to support your family’s needs!
