Warm, Reliable, and Kid‑Focused Sitter With Real Leadership Experience
I’m Isa, a warm and reliable sitter who truly loves working with kids. I’ve spent years supporting children from kindergarten through middle school in classrooms, after‑school programs, and community babysitting. As a Health & Wellness major with a Biology minor, I bring a calm, informed approach to safety, routines, and child development. I’m also trained in First Aid, CPR, AED use, and Stop the Bleed, which helps me stay prepared and confident in any situation. I’ve led large student groups, taught 3rd‑grade religion, and created fun, structured activities that help kids feel comfortable and excited. Families describe me as positive, organized, and someone their children connect with right away.
I can travel to surrounding suburbs/towns of Farmingdale for work.

I’m a Health and Wellness major with a minor in Biology at High Point University, and I’ve built strong childcare and leadership experience through years of hands‑on work with kids. I’ve supported children from kindergarten through middle school, including four years volunteering in an elementary after‑school program and three years of community babysitting. I’ve also taught 3rd‑grade religion, which strengthened my lesson‑planning and classroom‑management skills. As Blue & Gold Captain, I supervised over 200 students, including 78 girls in grades 6–8. I’m bilingual in Spanish and trained in communication, organization, and creating safe, structured environments for kids!
