Hi! My name is Jalisa. I have been caring for kids, whether being a nanny or working in a preschool setting, for about 10 years now! I started off as a preschool teacher and over the years I have helped many families. I have watched from as little as a itty bitty new born to preteens. No one really talks about the support one needs to keep the family together and it is the main reason why I got into babysitting. I help with the kids as you go to work, luckily for you I worked as a preschool teacher and understand the importance you may have if you'd rather your little or big one learn from home. I love to try new meal ideas. I ve had a family who was vegan. Thankfully recipes were involved but found a new love of plant based meals and snacks. I received my a. a in dance education and have taught dance for many years to the youth in my community and am currently in school to receive a bachelors in developmental psychology. I love pets as long as I understand any triggers they may have!

Hi! I’m a responsible, patient, and caring college student with several years of experience working with children. Along with formal babysitting jobs, I completed a three-year internship at Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital, where I volunteered over 800 hours supporting children and their families in a healthcare setting. This experience helped me develop strong communication skills, patience, and the ability to create a safe, positive environment for kids of all ages. I enjoy keeping children engaged through games, crafts, reading, and outdoor activities while always making their safety my top priority. I pride myself on being dependable, attentive, and someone parents can trust with their little ones.
