A little bit about me
Hello! My name is Katelyn Lisi and I'm a reliable and experienced babysitter. I'm a proud Girl Scout graduate, which means I was trained early in leadership, responsibility, safety, and service-skills I've carried into every job I take on. From learning first aid to managing group activities and earning badges in everything from cooking to problem-solving, Girl Scouts gave me a strong foundation in working with others and staying prepared.
I've worked with kids in church care programs and have babysat for a family with three children ranging in age from 1 to 6. I'm confident caring for multiple kids, managing routines, and keeping things calm even when the day is a bit unpredictable.
I'm also a student-athlete and softball player, so I understand the importance of teamwork, time management, and staying composed under pressure. I have a valid driver's license and can help with transportation, light housework, homework, and more.
I look forward to meeting your family!

A little bit about me
I’m 18 years old, I don’t have a drivers license but I am planning on getting one in the near future. My grandmother runs her own daycare so I’ve always helped her ever since I was younger with kids different ages, I love being around kids that truly makes me happy being able to put a smile on there face, I’m very understanding and have lots of patience as I have a 2 year old baby brother and everybody knows terrible 2s are the worst. I grew up cooking because my mother is a chef/baker so things like meal prep and cooking are very easy for me to do, I also understand and can work around picky eaters I grew up with one (my brother). When it comes to communication with kids I feel like I’m great at it and understanding there’s feelings and what they need when they need it like comforting them when there upset, playing with them, and also I’m good at staying calm when there frustrated because kids can always pick up on your emotions.

A little bit about me
I have grown up with cousins and a little sibling to look after as well as spending a year as an assistant teacher to preschoolers aged 3 and 4. I worked for many families with good references across 5 years and would love to get back into childcare. I am so passionate about working with children and helping make childhood a safe and special place! I love to read, write, and am a big music fan. I grew up on the East Coast, and still visit family a few times a year.

A little bit about me
A little about me: I would describe myself as an animal-loving/ baking enthusiast whose favorite things in life are my family, my horse, and hosting homemade dinners for my closest friends.
A fun fact about me! I was adopted from Belarus!! This made me want to get involved with kids in foster care. I believe being a positive influence has a greater impact on those early years than we sometimes even realize. How one adult reacts, to even just one situation can change that child's whole perception of the world. People always remember how they were treated in times of growth, development, and vulnerable times. I want to not only support families but be a part of that child's support team as well.
I love working with kids of all ages. I believe to work with kids you need to understand how to speak their language, and how to set a boundary without means of punishment! How to listen, be patient, and understand.
I've had much experience with dog/ house sitting as well!!
