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 started babysitting at a really early age and continued doing so for many years. Prior to getting married and becoming a mom I worked as a nanny, and also as a preschool teacher/assistant. And even did some home daycare after I got married and had our first daughter. I've spent the better part of my working life as a medical assistant which pulled me into many different clinical settings including pediatrics. Most recently, before our move to La Quinta from Portland, Oregon, I worked as the office manager for a behavioral health clinic. I continue to help them remotely, on a limited basis. I'd love to find a family that needs occasional or part-time help. I really enjoy cooking and baking so I'm happy to help with meal prep or laundry. I love to go on walks, take trips to the park, zoo, or library.

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 Nursing, therefore I am looking for a part-time position. I am preparing for my entrance exam. However I need a balance in my routine. 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 and nephew which are teens as well as a 2 & 4 year old. I've been told I am a natural with children, it never feels like a a job instead it's about nurture, care and activity stimulating their minds while having fun at the same time. 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. I am great at multitasking, efficient and very clean and organized. In the near future my commitment and focus is on furthering my education with maintaining a daily balance. I am looking for a position that compliments my natural personality of caring for others.
