My name is Alyssa but everyone calls me Lyssa. Iβm the oldest of 6. I have 3 sisters and 2 brothers. Thatβs actually how I got into babysitting then from there it went to other family members and children of friends. Iβve always loved kids and Iβm a big kid at heart myself. Usually right before school starts back I take all the kids in the family on a mini field trip whether itβs to the movie theater or to an arcade. In school I took child development courses. So I have certificates for SIDS and Shaken baby. I am also familiar with children with allergies and with autism.

Hi, my name is Carissa and I have been babysitting and working with children since I was 13. I have always loved getting to talk and play with kids, each of their imaginations and talents are so unique! I have previously worked in camp and church ministries where I had the opportunity to work with children of all ages in small and large group settings. This experience included taking care of children ages 5-18 overnight and organizing fun activities! In all settings I pay special attention to child safety after serving as a lifeguard and director of volunteer child protection training. I have also had the privilege of doing a six month internship in Guatemala where I lived and worked with women and children with physical and developmental disabilities.
