About Elissa Vanessa

I have my Bachelor's degree and several years of hands on babysitting experience working with children of all ages. In addition, I worked for the CUSD district for 4 years as a Behavioral Support Specialist, where I supported students with a wide range of needs and personalities. That experience strengthened my patience, adaptability, and ability to create a calm, positive environment for every child. I am CPR and First Aid certified and prioritize safety while still making sure kids have fun and feel safe. I'm comfortable caring for children of all ages and abilities, and I have experience working with different behaviors, routines, and family dynamics. I'm dependable and attentive and I am very comfortable enforcing household rules and believe in open communication with parents, adapting to your preferred method, whether it's verbal updates or regular texts. I am comfortable caring for up to four children and am comfortable with pets.
