Hello! My name is Elise and I have 10+ years babysitting experience. I started in high school but also grew up with 2 little sisters 12 and 8 years younger than me, so I was always taking care of kids from a young age. Throughout college I was a nanny for a boy from ages 7-11 where I would pick up from school, help with homework, practice/play sports with him and drive to sports practices. During college I also babysat for many families of kids of all ages. After graduation I moved to Paris and worked as an au pair for 2 years. Last summer I worked as a nanny in East Hampton for 3 kids ages 4-7. While I was in college I worked every summer at a sleep away camp for elementary age campers in the Ozark Mountains. I am currently studying for my masters in International Marketing. I also speak French and am learning Spanish and Italian. I love animals and am very comfortable if you have any pets.
