Do you need a young, energetic, and enthusiastic babysitter for your kids? look no further.

Hi parents! I am Elise Nehlsen, I am a 16 year old high school student. I love working with kids I spend a lot of time doing it; and I would say I have gotten pretty good at it. I have three little brothers of my own and tons of little cousins. I have been babysitting for as long as I can remember, but have gradually become more serious about it as the years have gone by. I love to plan games and activities. I am a huge fan of being outside whenever it is possible. I love to take kiddos to the park and on walks, as well as just play in the back yard. One of my own personal interests that I like to integrate into my work is arts and crafts. I am always more than happy to help cook and pick up around the house where needed. If I sound like the right fit for your family please feel free to reach out.

I currently work at daycare but I'm moving and need something closer.I absolutely love working with kids and have hands-on experience caring for children of various ages. I was homeschooled growing up, which gave me a strong foundation in patience, creativity, and flexibility—qualities that I now bring into my work with children.

I enjoy creating a fun, safe, and engaging environment where kids can learn and thrive, and I’d love the opportunity to support your family in that way. Please let me know if you’d like to chat more—I’d be happy to answer any questions you have!
