A little bit about me

As the oldest of seven siblings, I’ve been a built-in caregiver since day one whether its rocking babies to sleep, helping with homework, or planning rainy day adventures I'm ready for it all. I earned my degree in Sociology and spent seven wonderful years teaching English as a Second Language to refugee children, teens, and adults. Those years taught me patience, creativity, and how to connect with people from all walks of life.

When I’m not working in Human Resources (with a flexible hybrid schedule), you’ll probably find me curled up with a good book or at the local library with my curious kitty in tow, spreading a little extra joy. I bring warmth, reliability, and a genuine love for learning to any family I work with in the future.

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

I am a child-oriented lifelong learner with a penchant for turning situational experiences into learning opportunities for children & adults alike. I believe children learn best through play and that all kids deserve to feel seen, heard, and supported in order to grow and develop. I love to be outside! I have a knack for finding four-leaf clovers, and I don’t mind getting a little muddy. I am currently taking classes to increase my fluency in ASL and eventually become an interpreter in schools and/or museums and zoos.

I have a background in preschool/daycare as a lead teacher in an infant and toddler classroom, as well as nannying and house managing experience. I’ve been with my current nanny family for four years (the kids were 8mo and 4y when I started), but my little kiddos are now in full time school. I’m looking for a new family to fall in love with!
