About Calista

I have worked with a wide range of ages ranging from a newborn-12/13 years. I've worked with twins on multiple occasions. I currently help out in the Preschool at Larkin High School, I ran my own in home daycare for a few years, worked for The Learning Tree for 2 years, and was also a Nanny for 2 wonderful families for 3 years altogether. I babysit on weekends for people in need of a a babysitter but just looking for a more temporary situation! I love doing arts and crafts with the kids, taking them outside to play, playing games, working on schoolwork & definitely promoting the use of imagination. I have 5 siblings myself, 2 of which have ADHD & 2 who have IEP's. Therefore, I'm very patient with kids and understand them on a different level. I have a soon to be 3-year-old son that I am looking to bring along with me. I do have 2 dogs. One is a chihuahua and the other is a beagle. I watch a newborn, 2 3-year-olds, a 7-year-old, and an 11-year-old on occasions. The dogs love them.
