A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Lissa, and I’ve been babysitting for several years through my mom’s daycare. Many of the daycare parents and staff trust me to watch their kids, and I’ve cared for children of all different ages. I’ve also had experience babysitting a child with Down syndrome, which helped me build even more patience and understanding.

I’m energetic, friendly, and truly love being around kids. Whether we’re playing, learning, or winding down for bedtime, I always focus on creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment. I’m also great with pets, so furry family members are no problem at all. Babysitting is something I really enjoy, and I’m always willing to step in when someone needs help.

A little bit about me

Caring for kids has always been a big part of my life, and I love creating a fun, safe, and nurturing environment for the little ones I watch over. I’m currently a student at Belmont University, double majoring in Theatre Directing and Public Advocacy—so storytelling, creativity, and strong communication are second nature to me!

I have experience working with children of all ages and understand the importance of balancing structure with fun. Whether it's helping with homework, planning engaging activities, or just being a reliable and caring presence, I’m here to support both kids and parents. I also know how important consistency is for children, and I strive to create a routine that feels comforting and natural for them.

In my free time, I love exploring local parks, reading, and finding new creative outlets.

I’d love to learn more about your family and how I can help! Feel free to reach out—I’m excited to connect.
