Hi! My name is Alissa, and I have a true passion for caring for children of all ages. I’ve spent years helping care for younger siblings, family members, and children in my community, and I love creating a safe, fun, and positive environment where kids can learn, play, and feel comfortable. Whether it’s arts and crafts, outdoor adventures, reading stories, helping with homework, or keeping little ones on a routine, I’m happy to adapt to each family’s needs. I am CPR and First Aid certified, dependable, patient, and always prioritize your child’s safety and well-being. I also don’t mind helping with light housekeeping, meal preparation, transportation, or caring for pets if needed. My goal is to give parents peace of mind while making sure their children are happy, engaged, and well cared for. I look forward to meeting your family!

I have watched a family of children for several years with children ages 2-8, and I also was a soccer coach for Soccer Shots for a summer, so I am very comfortable working with young kids. I am a self employed photographer so my schedule is very flexible and I’m willing to work with your schedule.

I am 26 years old and I moved to Lynchburg 2 years ago, coming from France. I have worked in summer camps and after school programs with kids up to 15 years of age (I got the Youth Leadership Certificate for youth camps and activities) and I was a baby sitter for private families for many years. I am willing to be a nanny and create personal and fun relationships with kids. I love to read books and do crafty activities. I also love sports and outdoors activities. I have my own car and I am very flexible for any specific request the child and his/her family may have. I speak French and Spanish as well. I am willing to share my culture and my language. I am reliable, trustworthy and I know how to adapt to a kid's energy level and quiet times when necessary. I am available for any questions you may have, and any requests. Best, Marion

I graduated in 2019 with a BA in French and Spanish. I am a very hardworking and caring individual and, I love children. I am very family oriented with a little brother of my own that I have cared for my entire life. He is like a son to me. Before leaving North Carolina where I attended school, I was working every day with children grades K-12 at an after-school program along with my studies and playing basketball. I currently babysit regularly for several local families. I have been working professionally in childcare since 2017, and babysitting since I was 16 years old. I have experience with working with children one on one and/or multiple children in a group setting, so babysitting multiple children is no problem for me. In addition to assisting the children with homework and other academic assignments, I was an art and language teacher at the after school program mentioned above, and a tutor as well. I still currently tutor. I would be willing to work with your child on those things while babysitting. I am CPR certified and have BLS training. I believe in being very active and hands-on with activities because that is the best way to learn and play ! General availability: weekends/evenings/nights

As the oldest sister of seven siblings, I have years of hands-on experience caring for children of all ages. My experience has taught me patience, responsibility, and how to create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment. I currently work as a phlebotomist on the third shift and am CPR and First Aid certified, so parents can feel confident knowing their children are in capable hands. I am dependable, attentive, and enjoy engaging with kids through activities, games, and learning opportunities. With my flexible daytime availability this summer, I am excited to provide reliable, caring babysitting services to families in need.
