Hello I’m Janelle but everyone calls me “Lyric” ☺️ I’m 34 years old with a Bachelor’s degree in Broadcast Journalism from The University of Georgia. I’m originally from Boston, MA and not new at all to watching, caring for and being around children! At my church I volunteered in the childcare nursery. I have 10 nieces and nephews that I watched throughout my adolescent years. In college I baby sat for my close friend’s infant very often. I’ve done tons of volunteer and community work with children specifically throughout the years as well. experience. All my friends have little ones so I’m just constantly around kids! Lol My jobs here on UrbanSitter can also reassure you of my recent & consistent experience with a range of families! I’m a music recording artist & DJ primarily but also I teach Artist Development, Songwriting & Performance at Musicians Institute in Hollywood. I Read more enjoy teaching, I’m super laid back and I have a youthful spirit and energy that draws me to kids. I’ve always been passionate and good with children of all ages and I really would like to be of service to give parents a break, free time or just work, etc...especially during these hard times. You need errands run, school drop offs, cooking, planning fun activities? I’m down for that too! I would love the opportunity to add joy and peace of mind to you and your family! Car/valid license ✔️ Vaccinated ✔️ *I do typically require a 4 hour minimum per sitting job but rates and time frames are negotiable depending on location - feel free to message me to inquire further! - Lyric
