We had the pleasure of Alexa Roos joining our family in New Zealand. Alexa is such an amazing, caring, kind, and honest person who offers valuable child development advice. She has a unique magic with family dynamics and children, making her a great source of parenting support and family coaching. Our daughters and family will never forget and appreciate the time we had with her.
Alexa, you have been an invaluable member of the family for the last 3.5 years. Your child development advice, along with your role as a mentor and friend, has made a lasting mark on us all. The joy, laughter, and parenting support you brought into our home will always be remembered. We are grateful for the last years, and our hearts and home will always be open to you.
Alexa has been an invaluable source of parenting support and knowledge since the moment I discovered I was going to become a parent. Over the past eight years, I have consulted her for child development advice at every stage of the journey. Her patience, empathy, and expertise inspire me, making me feel safe to approach her with any questions without feeling judged. She is understanding and a team player, always seeking ways to cultivate harmony within our family. The insights I've gained from her family coaching have greatly improved our home life. My three children appreciate and respect her, knowing she balances being firm with having fun. I would highly recommend Alexa to anyone with children, whether you're aiming to change the tone of your household or explore ways to cultivate more coherence in the home.
Alexa is fantastic! She lived with our family for five years, starting when my older son was just over a year old. My younger son was born a year later, and Alexa was with us through their earliest years. During that time, she wasn’t just helping care for our kids — she became a steady, grounding presence in our home, providing invaluable parenting support for us all.
She understood child development in a very real, practical way. Her insights and child development advice were evident as she talked to the boys in language that made sense to them at each stage, recognizing what they were capable of emotionally. When big feelings showed up, she never took it personally or made things worse. Instead, she guided the boys in naming what they were feeling, calming down, and getting back on track — something I watched happen again and again.
Alexa set boundaries clearly and kindly, embodying the principles of effective family coaching. There was no shaming, blaming, or raised voice; limits were held and reset as many times as needed until they stuck. The boys felt safe with her, and they trusted her completely.
Additionally, Alexa was thoughtful in how she supported us as parents. She didn’t judge or dictate what we should do. If she had ideas, she shared them casually, often mentioning something that had worked with Hawthorn or Flint recently — sometimes even that same day — allowing us to reflect on it. It was natural, helpful, and never felt like advice.
Years later, many parents wish they had been shown how to handle meltdowns without damage, set boundaries without fear, stay regulated themselves, and help their children shine. We were lucky enough to see that modeled every day.
Even while juggling a 4.0 in night classes at Hopkins, she showed up calm and focused. She kept her personal life separate from our household life, which mattered more than I realized at the time.
I would trust Alexa with my children all over again, and I’d be grateful for the chance to learn from her myself.
If you need support and guidance, I am here for you!
