About Calista
Hello! My name is Calista. I'm 20 years old and currently in college studying Biology to become a Marine Biologist. Nurturing a child's growth and witnessing their development is my greatest passion, and nothing brings me more joy than watching them discover the world around them-especially through science and nature! Over my time babysitting, I've seen firsthand how rewarding it is. I am a patient, calm, and naturally creative caregiver. Whether we're exploring nature outdoors, tackling a tricky puzzle, or diving into fun educational games, I love finding imaginative ways to spark curiosity and keep kids engaged every day. I also know how essential open communication is for parents. I am always happy to follow your preferred method, whether that involves written daily reports or regular text. I am very comfortable around pets. I always approach household rules with respect. I look forward to bringing my friendly, imaginative energy into your home and helping your little ones thrive!
Most recent review
We love Calista! She has been helping watch our kids for 3 years now. Our kids love when we tell them Calista is coming over to watch them because they don’t like to many people watching them. She sees a need and will do it ie dishes in sink she’ll wash them, and more. She thinks outside the box too when my daughter was younger she had a hard time with me leaving and Calista always found a way to distract her and make her feel safe which was so important to us. She loves going outside and being in nature which was another big deal for us living in the age of screens. If you want an amazing babysitter whose honest, loyal, trustworthy, and caring Calista is the perfect fit!
