Meet Elaine
- Comfortable with pets
- Has a car
I am a retired psychologist and worked with children throughout my 30 years of counseling. While this did not entail "caring" for children, it did require being able to talk to and understand them at a very deep level. I have been professionally carring for children since 2017. Most of my experience with children has been to raise my own two who are now a paramedic and a public school teacher and I have been having my 3 grand children come visit with me on weekends from infancy to now. The eldest is 13 years old. I also was a girl scout leader for 10 years when the girls were 5 years old until they were 15. I took them camping on weekends and on two trips, one out of state and one out of the country. I spent one year as a first grade teacher for Dallas Independent School Read more District. I am definitely a fun babysitter. I even bring my own board games if the kids are old enough. I am very responsible. I am healthy and active. I do not miss work and can get down on the floor to play with the kids. I treat children with kindness and respect. I like to cook, especially healthy foods. I am comfortable with animals. I am a former lifeguard and have an accident and ticket free driver’s license. I have many 5 star reviews on some of the other sitter plataforms which I can send you if you would like. Thank you for reading this. Elaine Lemmer

Elaine was able to fill a need with very short notice. I have an 8 month year old who is generally quite busy and she kept up with him and kept him entertained for the 9 hours I had to unexpectedly work from home. Would book Elaine again in heartbeat.

Elaine was fantastic. She was on time, asked great questions and took great care of my three kids. On top of that, she was just awesome to chat with as a person. She got the kids tucked into bed nicely and we came home to a nice quiet house, which is such a treat. Would use her again and recommend her!
