Iβm CPR certified and love kids. With the flexibility of my job, I can take on babysitting gigs on the side! Iβm from Nola but lived in Chicago for college and then Germany for a few years.

I'm an early childhood enthusiast with three years of experience providing safe, nurturing care for children. My passion for helping children grow and develop stems from my positive experiences in previous babysitting roles where I discovered the profound impact I can have on young lives.Patient, calm, and creative, I easily connect with children and foster an environment that sparks their imagination. I believe in open communication with parents and provide regular updates on their child's day, using their preferred method of contact.Whether it's engaging in outdoor games, playing board games, or participating in educational activities, I thrive on creating a fun and enriching experience for every child in my care. With a flexible schedule, I am ready to provide reliable childcare for up to three children between the ages of 0 and 11. I can't wait to meet you!

My name is Alyssa but everyone calls me Lyssa. Iβm the oldest of 6. I have 3 sisters and 2 brothers. Thatβs actually how I got into babysitting then from there it went to other family members and children of friends. Iβve always loved kids and Iβm a big kid at heart myself. Usually right before school starts back I take all the kids in the family on a mini field trip whether itβs to the movie theater or to an arcade. In school I took child development courses. So I have certificates for SIDS and Shaken baby. I am also familiar with children with allergies and with autism.
