About Alexandra

Experience: 9 yrs

With eight years of experience, I offer a unique approach to child care, integrating psychological [Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)] and meditative practices, creating a broad and mature solution to childcare and child development. My childcare methods emphasize mindfulness to help cultivate self-reliance, assurance, and focus. This approach fosters a sense of purpose and curiosity. I also incorporate DBT techniques to help children develop emotional regulation, resilience, and cognitive flexibility. These principles are woven into play, worksheets, conversations, and activities that I carefully design to deliver these results. At the heart of my work is the intention to build a safe and reliable bond with your child. I am pivoting in my career by pursuing a writing and building a character based merchandise brand. While developing these endeavors, and relocating to the city, I am choosing to work in a field I find rewarding- childcare and child development.

Such a caring professional, we wish we could have worked with Alexandra longer. Our little guy absolutely loved her and we felt so comfortable leaving when we knew she was there. Even helped when he was so sick and miserable and she was wonderful. So caring, so lovely and knows kids. I have to add that our house was always cleaner than when we left, though I have no idea how she managed that while chasing our toddler around!
