Meet Your Backup Babysitter: Alexa

Hi there! I’m Alexa Riddle — a CPR & First Aid-certified childcare professional with over 16 years of experience supporting families from California to Central Florida.

In addition to regular nannying and recurring babysitting for various families, my work spans long‑term rotational placements, travel‑based care, and supporting families during their theme‑park adventures.

I’m known for being animated and playful with kids while creating structured, engaging experiences that help them thrive. I balance fun with gentle discipline and clear communication, partnering with parents to reinforce routines, respect, and emotional regulation.

I’m invested in helping children grow in character and confidence, not just keeping them mindlessly entertained. I integrate seamlessly into a family’s rhythm—whether for a single evening or an extended stay—and bring calm, consistency, and creativity wherever I go.

Based in New Smyrna Beach, I serve families within a 70‑mile radius (and up to ~100 miles for travel bookings). I’m here to offer flexible, trustworthy backup and recurring care whenever you find a gap in coverage.

Reach out to schedule a meet‑and‑greet so I can get on your roster—and you can get on my calendar.
