I'm Lisalee and I'm an optimistic, caring, and compassionate individual who has a passion for children.
My love for creative activities such as makeup, hairstyling, fashion, baking, dance, and gardening makes me a great companion for your little ones. As an experienced babysitter and a proficient singer/performer, your children can be assured of a fun, caring, and creative environment under my care.
Originally from Hamilton Ontario, I spent most of my childhood in a small town in BC. Being one out of 9 children, I've had plenty of experience caring for young children throughout my life. I've even had the privilege of participating in the home births of three of my siblings, giving me invaluable experience in newborn care.
For the past 3 years, I've been actively engaged in babysitting jobs, caring for groups as well as individual children of various ages. I believe that these early moments in a child's life are most crucial to their development for the future and I consider it an honour to contribute to raising well-mannered yet free-spirited children.
I'm currently based in Edmonton and I'm available for full-time roles especially in mornings from Monday to Friday. My duties include light housekeeping, meal preparation, children's laundry, bathing and dressing children, and early childhood education.
I'm capable of working with up to four children or more and I promise to give my best in ensuring your children are safe, happy, and well cared for. I'm ready to start immediately. Please feel free to reach out, and let's see if we are a great fit!
