What families and educators say about working with The Mother Fox

The Munoz Family
Fort Lauderdale, FL
"Alaina Fox was our child’s RBT and then BCBA. Her thoughtfulness, care and support with our son was life changing for him and our family. We were truly blessed to have Alaina directly involved with the development of our son and we will always hold her dear in our hearts. We wish she still could be a direct part of our lives but her impact is everlasting. If you have the opportunity for Alaina to work with your family, never let her go. The baked goods she makes are icing on the metaphorical cake…lol."

Hobgood Family
Freeport, FL
"Alaina is the “baby whisperer” my 10 month old daughter adores her and Miss Beth the Great Dane!
They have been helping with childcare the past few months and I can’t recommend them enough! She is a wonderful addition to the Freeport and surrounding communities! Check out her baked goods as well you won’t be disappointed. ❤️"

Starbuck Family
Santa Rosa Beach, FL
"The Mother Fox is an absolute gem! My friend has been caring for my baby every week while I’m at work, and I can honestly say she’s the only person I trust to watch my baby for more than a couple of hours. Her background in special needs and behavior therapy brings an incredible level of expertise, patience, and intuition that sets her apart — my friends and I lovingly call her the baby whisperer because she just has a natural gift with children.
She quickly picks up on what works and what doesn’t with each child (she’s incredibly intelligent), and the kids adore her. Her calm, thoughtful approach creates such a peaceful environment, and I’m beyond grateful to have her in our lives.
On top of that, her baked goods are absolutely delicious! I love that everything is made with sourdough and top-quality ingredients — it’s so rare to find someone who puts as much care into the kitchen as she does into childcare.
If you have the chance to work with The Mother Fox, don’t hesitate — just know you’ll be sharing one of the best-kept secrets around!"

Goundry Family
Deerfield Beach, Fl
"We would like to share our experience with Alaina. She is a caring genuine person that has always given us great service with our daughter that was 7 last year. Our kid has learned a lot from her. Always friendly and engaging with our daughter and us. Trying to accommodate our needs and finding a solution to our situation. Alaina is also a good baker, we have tried her baking goods sometimes and can attest to her having good baking skills. She is 100% recommended by us😊"
