A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Kalissa Wagster, and I have over 15 years of childcare experience. I began babysitting at age 12 and have since cared for children of all ages, including infants, large families, and two nonverbal autistic toddlers as a full-time nanny. I also worked in a daycare before returning to nannying, where my passion truly is.

I'm a homeschooling mom to my kind and caring 7-year-old daughter, who accompanies me while I work and loves being around other children.

I'm looking for a family that values a gentle, respectful approach. I focus on redirection, communication, and helping children understand their emotions rather than yelling or harsh discipline. I'm naturally minded, love animals, and strive to create a calm, nurturing environment where children feel safe, supported, and encouraged to learn through play.

I currently own a small online boutique and am looking to fill in some time between that. I have full availability Sunday & Monday. Tuesday-Saturday after 3pm.

"She is great with my three kids, aged 5, 2 and newborn. She is very diligent in making sure bedtimes are met, kids are well fed and have a fun activity filled afternoon. She was very flexible with our schedule and was great at letting us know if something came up for her. She always made sure the house was picked up before she left and was on top of things that we asked her to take care of. She was always looking for new activities to take the kids to or to do with them, and new meals to serve them."

"Kalissa is welcoming and sweet. My son has asd and has asthma. She’s one of the only people I trust with him given his needs/medical conditions. She is gentle when working with him and encourages him to explore, play, and learn new things when with him. My son also took to her right away and loved her from the start. She also provided updates the first time we left him with her anytime we asked and helped keep our nerves down as it was the first time he was ever in someone else’s care. Kalissa is truly amazing with him!"
