About me
My name is Alexa Branch, I am a highly experienced child care provider with 15+ years of experience under my belt. I have over ten years experience working specifically with special needs children ranging from ADHD, non verbal cases, autism, and cerebral palsy.
My experience includes but not limited to special needs nanny, pre-school teacher, behavioral therapist aide, long term high profile nanny and house manager. I am CPR trained but I do need to renew the yearly certification. I specialize in behavioral issues, autism, non-verbal cases, and any neurodivergent and ADHD related behaviors. Safety is my utmost concern and I carefully monitor children when I take them on outings to the park, local pool or playdates. As a certified herbalist, I understand smart nutritional choices and carefully prepare meals that are healthy for kids but also fun and yummy to eat. I am proud to say I have an extensive background in working as a childcare provide.
A little about myself… I am a very caring, eclectic, fun and funky 29 years old. Bergen County, New Jersey native that just moved back to New Jersey a little over two years ago. I am a big goofball and love to play, dance, sing and adore anything and everything to do with arts and crafts. I have a degree in Digital Art and Design and love creating during my free time. I am also a certificated herbalist and love living a healthy conscious lifestyle. I do my best to meditate and practice yoga daily. This year my goal is my continuing to educate myself on herbalism and master Pilates! Childcare has always been a major passion in my life and genuinely makes my heart happy.

Activities & skills I love to teach & share with children...
Anything and everything artsy and creative. I love teaching and encouraging children to paint and draw or something as silly as creating our own comics, dancing and singing or any instrument play. I love teaching children about gardening and plant identification, as well as healthy cooking and fun healthy eating habits like making smoothie bowls together and using ingredients we have grown together.
