I have been a certified babysitter for 11 years now. I currently work at Linden Oaks behavioral health hospital. I was a full time nanny for 3 years. I am up to date on my CPR certification. I have experience watching multiple kids of all ages and abilities.

I recently wad a longer term substitute teacher at an elementary school, while coaching high school basketball. I am working on my masters of Higher Education Administration.

Hi! I’m Alyssa, I’m 24 years old and recently graduated from Illinois State University with my Bachelor’s in Exercise Science. I am currently working as a physical therapy aid, and plan to go back to school for my doctorate. I have been babysitting/nannying since I was about 15 years old and did it throughout college. I have experience with all ages and can help with cleaning, pick up/drop off, tutoring, appointments, etc! I am also CPR/AED certified for infants, children, and adults.

I've had a lot of experience working with kids in the past 4 years, not necessarily in paid positions, but for my education as well. I'm skilled at engaging with kids and providing them with a caring person to talk to and have fun with. With a degree in Elementary education, I'm able to provide learning experiences for your children as well and help them get excited to learn. I have experience working as a lifeguard, and know first aid and CPR, so you can be put at ease that your child will be safe with me.

Being a sitter can make you feel a sense of fulfillment by providing care and support while building a positive relationship with the children and their families. It’s a job where you can be creative, active, and make a meaningful impact on young lives. Growing up as the oldest coming from a big family you take on a lot of responsibilities and skills like communication, patience, understanding of child development stances, adaptability, problem solving, safety awareness, the availability to stay calm under pressure, and being able to foster a child’s social, emotional, and intellectual growth through engaging activities.
