Hi there!
My name is Lexiie and I am 21 year old professional.
I have approx 8 years of experience with looking after kids. I am a passionate, funny (I like to think!) and a very empathetic person who loves the beach, playing sports, socializing and listening to music. I am an extremely hard worker, having worked across the board beginning at 13 y/o in a range of industries; Babysitting/Nannying, Hospitality, Marketing, Real Estate and Property Development.
I am super sporty, having played Basketball (retired) at a high level in my teenage years. I am very well adjusted to other sports and love being outside. Also am really comfortable with pets as I love animals!
A fun fact of mine is that I have three older triplet siblings aged 32, so I became an Aunty to 5 kids pretty quickly!
I have always loved looking after my nephews and niece from watching movies, playing at the park, taking them shopping, and other little adventures. I am really easy going and will always put children first. I understand the importance of raising/looking after children, so whatever the parent/s advise me to teach/enforce I will do also if necessary!
Specifically I help my brother who is a single Dad so I have worked closely with my niece by helping him out some days over the years. Hence why I love to help other parents who need me and build connections with other families as I love the reward of knowing I am making a difference.
I have worked with the same family through another agency (Peas in a Pod) for the past 2/3 years, initially during the week and weekends, now it is just Saturdays. (Experience includes: pickup/drop-off to and from school, light housework duties including laundry, kitchen tidiness, unloading dishwasher/putting away, clean-up after kids, make kids beds and ensure room is tidy, take kids to activities and usually join in myself, lots of at-home activities, putting to bed, getting them ready for school etc.,)
My Mum is also a teacher for children who experience learning difficulties and/or struggle with certain disabilities, so I have learned a lot from her when it comes to education and homework-help!
Thanks for reading and I hope to chat soon! :)
