About Alina

I have 25+ years of experience as a nanny and preschool-PreK teacher. I am a doctoral student in a Philosophy of Ed program specializing in Early Childhood Education. BA in ECE and infant studies and MA in Educational Psychology. My interests are in child development research and human studies. I am passionate about play-based education, art-making for academic learning, and project-based learning. I am versed in many approaches to teaching and support for infants, toddlers & school-age children. My minimum is $20/hr for standard babysitting and childcare positions for 1 child. Nanny positions that require other duties and responsibilities besides caring for children will increase my hourly range. This includes housekeeping and household duties that directly connect to caring for children, organizing children's laundry, meal prep for the children, and sanitation of bottles, toys, and all workspaces. Note: I do not drive children; work hours are flexible.
