Looking for work as a babysitter or nanny

  • 4 years paid experience
  • Babysitter in New York, NY 10001

Meet Jelisha

  • Comfortable with pets

I am single 24 year old female, who has graduated from Binghamton University with a Bachelor's of Art in Psychology and a Bachelor's of Science in Human Development. It dawned on my early in my college career that working with children would bring me the greatest joy each day. I have had the privilege to work with numerous amount of children in different atmospheres and have found one on one time with children is what I am best at, such as babysitting. After working in the summer camp and babysitting, I found that it was within these environment that children are most comfortable to be themselves. I want to be able to still make a difference in their lives, but also have fun while doing so. I think that still being a kid at heart and being really goofy has made it much easier for me to enjoy what I Read more do. In addition to working at a summer camp and a babysitter, I have worked in establishments such as Family Enrichment Network Binghamton, NY and Institute of Child Development in Binghamton, NY. Both opportunities have allowed me to understand children in a school setting, however the latter was work with special needs students. Although I am only fluent in English, I make up for it in other skills such as being very organized, extremely patient, adventurous, and being great at following recipes.

Jelisha was early, not too early, and very kind. She asked good questions and followed all of my instructions. We will definitely book her again!!

Jelisha was absolutely wonderful with our kids and our dog! Our children have a tremendous amount of energy, especially our older son, and Jelisha managed to keep them cool, calm, and happy throughout as evidenced by their rave reviews of their time with her, and the absence of complaints about each other! They did art, played board games, and even walked the dog! Great attitude, happy presence, excellent sitter!
