An Amazing Math Professor Teaches While Holding His Student's Baby, As She Couldn't Find A Babysitter

Social media gives us a glimpse into a contemporary classroom. The latest teacher to be thrown into the social media spotlight? Nathan Alexzander, a 34-year-old math professor who offered to care for a student’s baby during class selflessly.


Wayne Hayer, a new father, enrolled in Alexzander’s class at Morehouse College, could not find a babysitter to watch his daughter, Assata. Unsure of what to do but still unwilling to miss class, he decided to bring the young girl with him. As Hayer arrived with his “special guest,” he was warmly welcomed by Alexzander, that went above and beyond to support the young dad.


“As one of my peers walked into the classroom with his child in arms he quickly explained to my professor that he couldn’t find a babysitter and had nobody else that could watch her,” Nick Vaughn, another student, explained on Facebook. “My professor said, ‘No problem, in fact, I will even hold her so you can take better notes in class.’ ”




For over an hour, Alexzander carried Assata, who he bounced, patted, and even inadvertently lulled to sleep. “When she started falling asleep, I told the class, ‘I guess I’m being boring right now,’ ” Alexzander recalled to Buzzfeed News. After the lecture, some of Alexzander’s students took to Twitter to share the sweet story, which has since gone viral.



Firda Amalia Hayer, little Assata’s mother, also used social media to praise both Alexzander and the public for supporting the young couple. “Seeing the outpouring of support from friends, family, and strangers for Assata and Wayne is a sight to behold. I can feel the genuine love and enthusiasm,” she said. “Thank you for encouraging us to continue to push forward. Thank you to black educators like Dr. Nathan Alexander [sic] for your compassion and understanding.”

  1. Excellent article, very touching, that the teacher loves his child so much that he even held a lesson while holding him in his arms. It's so beautiful!
