I'm a recent college graduate with a BA in Spanish Linguistics. I love hanging out with kids and enjoy helping them grow their little minds. With my Spanish major, it allows me to help children learn a new language as well. I look forward to the potential of babysitting for your family.

I am a former teacher with 25+ years of experience in early childhood education in NY. After retiring, my husband and I relocated to the valley and love it here. I also did private babysitting at a 4 star hotel in the Adirondacks of NY. I have three grandsons that have been a great way to keep active and current but still have the desire to help young families with childcare needs. I would love to chat with you about my experience and see if I can assist you with your needs!

We were recently in Palm Springs for a conference and needed a sitter to watch our infant and little boy. Lisa was professional, prompt, and kind. She brought age appropriate toys for our little boy, and instantly calmed our infant. She went above and beyond as a sitter. Would use her again in the future. Thanks Lisa!

I have been working with children for 15 years. My first job with children was at a daycare, Seymour Family Childcare. Then, at Desert Recreation District. I currently work for a family Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday with 2 boys ages 2 and 4. I absolutely fell in love with this line of work. I had tried hospitality, insurance and administrative. However none of those made me as happy as working with children. I have worked with ages newborn to 12 years old. Along with childcare, I also provide home cleaning, cooking, errands, pets, etc. Anything you need to run a caring/clean household I can do it. I am fluent in English and Spanish, which does come in handy quite often. I am tidy and timely. I take instruction with ease and I’m glad to take any constructive advice or tips on how to do an even better job. As for my personality, I tend to be on the silly side. Which works out perfect when working with children. I love exploring, learning new things, taking care of my family, and a huge fan of Sci-fi (so of course Star Wars included). I love being a mom however that does not pay the bills so I hope to do the next best thing, which is to be a fun, caring nanny for a lovely family ?

Alissia helped us out with our three high-energy boys during a busy and chaotic extended stay in Palm Springs. She was super proactive, looked for opportunities to support the kids (preemptively getting them fed and staying active) and keep them engaged (with games, activities, conversation). She asked good questions, worked well independently, and communicated very effectively. She was a joy to have with us.

Finding a babysitter who balances "fun" with "functional" can be a challenge, but I’m here to bridge that gap. With the wisdom of a mother who has raised four children and the energy of someone who truly loves to stay active, I provide a safe, structured, and vibrant environment for your little ones. I have extensive experience working in church nurseries, caring for children ranging from infants to 8-year-olds. I’m comfortable with diaper changes, bottle feedings, and managing group play. I strive to be the kind of caregiver I wanted for my own children: someone who is safe and structured, but who also isn't afraid to get a little dirt on their hands during play time.

CPR, AED & First Aid Certified Currently I am continuing my education in Psychology, therefore I am looking for a part-time position. (Does not include Monday & Wednesday's). I enjoy watching & caring for children, to me they are a lot of fun. Occasionally when I have time over the weekend I enjoy having my niece (7), nephew (9) as well as a 2 year old. I've been told I am a natural with children, it never feels like a a job instead it's about nurture and care. I have a hobby and professional experience in women's fitness which comes hand in hand when finding activities to keep children engaged, happy and always smiling. Some of my background is in Marketing/Business Development & Executive Assisting, although, now my commitment and focus is on school. I am looking for a part-time position that compliments my personality of caring for children.

I judge worked with children my whole life. I graduation from college with a BA in elementary education. Upon graduation I bought my own preschool and this was my passion for 15 years/. When Covid hit I tried to power through it but things were too rough and I had to give up my school. I took a year off from working after that and now I am bored and ready to work again. I miss working with children and would love to begin doing so again without the head ache of being a business owner/.
