About Me

Hello! My name is Alex, and I’m a kind, responsible, and creative person with a genuine love for caring for children. I have experience working with kids of different ages, both as an online English teacher and through volunteering, and I always strive to create a safe, calm, and fun environment where children can feel comfortable, heard, and happy.

I believe every child is unique and deserves patient, respectful care. I’m attentive to their needs, enjoy creative activities like drawing, crafts, and storytelling, and I always do my best to bring a warm and reassuring presence into the home.

I understand the importance of building trust with both children and parents, and I approach every family with professionalism, compassion, and clear communication. I'm also mindful of the challenges some children and families may face, and I aim to support them with sensitivity and care.

I’m flexible with hours, happy to help with routines, meals, homework, or playtime, and I’m fully committed to providing a reliable and nurturing experience for your child.

My Experience

Cared for a 5-year-old child on a regular basis, helping with daily routines such as meals, playtime, and bedtime.
Created a calm and engaging environment through crafts, drawing, storytelling, and outdoor play.
Encouraged emotional expression and positive behavior with patience and gentle guidance.
Maintained consistent communication with parents and ensured the child felt safe, supported, and happy.

Taught English to children aged 5–12 in one-on-one virtual lessons.
Adapted lessons to each child’s learning style and interests to keep them engaged and motivated.
Built strong, trusting relationships with students through encouragement, kindness, and active listening.
Strengthened my ability to explain new concepts clearly and support each child’s individual needs.
