Hello there! I am a licensed teacher and experienced sitter looking to connect with families to provide top-notch, hands-on summer childcare :)I have over ten years of experience educating and caring for children between the ages of 2 months and 12 years old, including children with special needs. I currently teach 2nd grade, and I could not love it more! For all four years of college, I worked as an assistant teacher at an early childhood school, where I primarily worked with infants and toddlers.I hold a Bachelor’s degree in education as well a professional educator license. As a care provider, I am gentle, calm, creative, and engaged. My favorite activities to do with kiddos include nature walks, art projects, and dramatic play!I do not smoke and have a car. I’d love to talk more about how I can be a part of a “village” for you and your child!

My name is Alyssa but everyone calls me Lyssa. I’m the oldest of 6. I have 3 sisters and 2 brothers. That’s actually how I got into babysitting then from there it went to other family members and children of friends. I’ve always loved kids and I’m 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 it’s 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.
