Hi! My name is Larissa, and I’m a caring, dependable, and patient babysitter who truly enjoys supporting families and creating a safe, happy environment for children. I completed a babysitting course through my local hospital at age 12 and have since babysat for five different families on and off over the years. During COVID, I spent nearly every day caring for a family’s two children along with their dog, new puppy, and cat, helping with playtime, routines, and daily care. I still babysit for them occasionally and remain in touch, which means a lot to me. The kids even say I’m their favorite babysitter because I’m fun, kind, and attentive. I’m comfortable caring for infants, toddlers, and school-age children. I enjoy reading, arts and crafts, outdoor play, creative games, and helping with homework while keeping screen time balanced. I’m also happy to help with light meal prep, bedtime routines, tidying Read more play areas, laundry, and light household tasks to make your day easier. I’m reliable, respectful of your home, and communicate clearly with parents. I’m available for one-time, last-minute, or recurring care, and I would love the opportunity to provide safe, loving, and dependable care for your family.
