Meet Lissa

  • Comfortable with pets
  • Has a car

Hello! My name is Lissa. I am a nanny seeking a new potion to begin this summer or fall. I am available Monday-Friday as late as 5 or 6 pm, depending on the location. I am seeking both full or part-time regularly scheduled roles, but I am open to discussing occasional evening/weekend babysitting jobs. I am a nanny caring for two boys under 5, where I have been since January 2022. In addition to over 20 years of private childcare experience, I have worked in a preschool/daycare environment with groups of children up to elementary age. I appreciate the organized approach of lesson plans and themed activities in a daycare, but working in a home setting allows for more personalized attention. Therefore, I incorporate various activities such as music, art projects, science experiments, sensory play, and more to provide the best of both worlds. These activities offer fun and entertainment Read more and aid in developing fine motor, gross motor, critical thinking, language, and social-emotional skills. As a caregiver, nurturing language skills and a love for reading are crucial during early childhood. I also like to focus on developing fine motor skills to help kids learn how to write. While academic performance is important, I prioritize teaching essential life skills, such as self-care, manners, personal hygiene, and social relationships. To ensure that each child gets the best possible foundation, I use a mix of teaching approaches, including Montessori and traditional preschool methods. I am CPR and First Aid Certified and have a Basic Nanny Skills Certificate from the International Nanny Association. I also volunteer my time moderating comments for a YouTube channel that teaches viewers how to incorporate Montessori concepts into the home. Through this volunteer position, I have been given access to a paid community where I can attend virtual conferences and group coaching sessions led by a certified Infant/Toddler Montessori Guide. I am fully vaccinated against Covid-19. *Currently only interested in long-term positions that pay on the books.*
