Hello, my name is Julie and I'm the Owner of Twinkle Toes™ Nanny Agency, East Idaho. I grew up in Idaho and have lived all over the US. I hold a Bachelor's in Legal Studies with a minor in Law enforcement and a Master's in Counseling. I've worked in a variety of fields such as retail management, law enforcement, refugee and immigrant mental health/relations, as well as working with children with special needs. I managed the Twinkle Toes in Jacksonville before buying a franchise and moving home.
I was a live-in nanny at age 18 so I know what an important job it is for families. I also know what it's like to be a parent and need care for your child because you’re working twelve plus hours a day. I know what it's like for families that have special needs child(ren) and need someone trustworthy to watch your child. I know what it's like to be at your wits end because you have to find a sitter to go to work. I know what it's like to live in a new city and not have any family to help with your children. All my experiences have prepared me for this role - to help Moms and Dads find the perfect child care fit for their family!
I look forward to working with your family and welcoming you to our Twinkle Toes family!
Julie Crecelius, OwnerHi! My name is Alexia (Lexi) Featherston and I am the Manager of Twinkle Toes Nanny Agency East and West Idaho. I studied Early Childhood Education at the College of Southern Idaho, and I was born and raised in the “The Gem” state. For as long as I can remember I have always loved working with kids. I began babysitting at a young age followed by working in a childcare center, and my favorite job, by far, has been nannying.
I know from experience what is important to families and I love having a career that allows me to find the perfect nanny/family connection. Making that special connection builds a much smoother home environment and allows the kids to have an experience that is unmatched! The most important aspect of selecting a good nanny is finding someone who can build a trusting, fun, lasting relationship with both the kids and the parents. Twinkle Toes Nanny Agency values building a community of caregivers that turn into lifelong relationships and I am proud to be a part of forming those relationships.
Alexia Featherston, Manager
