About Alex

Hello! My name is Alex, and I look forward to working with you. I have been working in childcare for over five years, and am very experienced in caring for children of all ages and backgrounds. I have additional experience working with children on the autism spectrum, and am skilled in working with nonverbal communication barriers, sensory-motor issues, understanding posturing and asymmetry with movements, the importance of schedules and repetition, safety measures and secure surroundings, fun time and ASD neurodevelopment disorder education games. Whether the child is on the spectrum or not, I ensure that they feel heard and understood, and guarantee a safe space. While I make sure everything gets done that needs to be, we will always focus on smiles and fun. :) My goal is to inspire and motivate youth to be their most authentic and wonderful selves. I strive to be a positive and reassuring figure in the lives of my students. Growing up as an older sister, I have learned to embrace and implement patience, love, and care to all. I have been working with kids all of my life, and wouldn't give up my experiences for the world. I teach youth kayaking, sustainable fishing lessons, conservation education, science in the natural world, lower-level English, math, science, and history courses, public speaking, among many other life skills. I have been certified to care for children through babysitting courses. I also love to work with pets! I have cats and dogs, and know just how to cater to their individualities. I have been volunteering at ARC Animal Rescue for several years, and love every second of it. Each pet deserves the highest quality care, and I am willing to offer just that. I understand how important your children are, furbaby or actual baby. If you ever have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out. I am flexible and willing to help however I can. Thank you, I hope to hear from you soon!
