I love working with kids and being someone they can feel comfortable and safe with. I have experience caring for my younger cousins (ages 2 and 4), and I’ve gained a lot of experience keeping little ones entertained, managing routines, and helping with daily tasks. I also help my younger brother with homework, so I’m comfortable supporting schoolwork and learning. I’m a college student, CPR and First Aid certified, and currently a lifeguard so safety and responsibility are always priorities for me. I stay calm under pressure, respond quickly in emergencies, and enjoy helping kids learn and grow. I am also a housekeeper so i'm comfortable cleaning up messes and getting my hands dirty.

Hi! My name is Larissa, and I’m a caring, dependable, and patient babysitter who truly enjoys supporting families and creating a safe, happy environment for children. I completed a babysitting course through my local hospital at age 12 and have since babysat for five different families on and off over the years. During COVID, I spent nearly every day caring for a family’s two children along with their dog, new puppy, and cat, helping with playtime, routines, and daily care. I still babysit for them occasionally and remain in touch, which means a lot to me. The kids even say I’m their favorite babysitter because I’m fun, kind, and attentive. I’m comfortable caring for infants, toddlers, and school-age children. I enjoy reading, arts and crafts, outdoor play, creative games, and helping with homework while keeping screen time balanced. I’m also happy to help with light meal prep, bedtime routines, tidying play areas, laundry, and light household tasks to make your day easier. I’m reliable, respectful of your home, and communicate clearly with parents. I’m available for one-time, last-minute, or recurring care, and I would love the opportunity to provide safe, loving, and dependable care for your family.

My name is Laylani, and I love working with children. Growing up, I always took care of my younger sister, bathing her, helping with her homework, and more.
