Hello, My name is Calise I am 14 years old and I am interested in babysitting and nannying! I have have experience with sitting for kids or entertaining and supervising for many years.I have a younger brother who is special needs and has autism and has taken care of him for many years and I learned how to use positive reinforcement and compromises and how to deal with different needs over the years. I am a social person and love doing interactive play or learning I like to plan activities for kids instead of just screen time I respect parents rules and wants . I am in school still at a charter school that focusing on GATE thinking for gifted and talented.I have done girl scouts and am a Cadette who has received silver awarded. And have taught knife safety classes and skills. Hosted events for younger girl scouts and outdoor safety and crafts. And many more learning inspired classes and events for younger and older girl scouts. Girl scouts let me do fun things like going to Hawaii and Zion and etc While making new friends and bonds, while were learning about STEM, the outdoors, entrepreneurship, and important life skills, and help get the community stronger, kinder, and better for everyone. I am on a volleyball team at SoCal Girls Volleyball Club.I have a genetic bleeding disorder called Von Willebrand's disease which is a part of a simpler one called Hemophilia but a less severe and go to local events for the hemophilia organization which teaches me first aid safety and has local events to volunteer at. At my old school I did a special pe class which I got to help with the special needs kids during p.e to help them have fun too and include them and learn things from them.I have a huge extended family and have sitted and cared for many of my cousins from ages 9 month with supervision to 12 years old without supervision.I love to help out in lots of ways and do chores and am comfortable with small and big dogs,I own a medium/big mutt and am comfortable dog walking as well.At my school I do ISE which allows me to leave early Mon-Wen at 12:45 to focus on extracurriculars and Thursday I do tutor time and am available for more hours on Fridays due to homeschooling on that day. I help out at my school in the office so I can help the staff and cheer up the kids in the office while helping out with simple first aid and helping parents and little kids during pick up because our school is tk-8th and offers TA which helps the younger teachers with kids who need more assistance than others.I believe in finding many skills.I did violin from age 6-11 and clarinet and trombone.I have played tennis,gymnastics,swim, and now volleyball.

Top 10 Tips For Hiring A Valentine's Day Babysitter

Follow these handy tips for hiring a Valentine's Day babysitter so you can enjoy a romantic evening while knowing your kids are in safe hands.

1. Book early

Valentine’s Day is a high-demand night for babysitters, so secure someone well in advance.

2. Expect holiday rates

Babysitters often charge extra for special occasions, so budget for a premium.

3. Choose someone trusted

Go with a sitter your kids already know, or someone with strong references if it’s their first time.

4. Confirm late-night availability

Make sure the sitter is comfortable staying until your return, even if it’s late.

5. Share bedtime routines

Provide clear instructions for dinner, storytime, and bedtime so the evening runs smoothly.

6. Leave fun activities

Stock up on games, crafts, or a movie to keep the kids entertained while you’re out.

7. Plan a simple dinner for kids

Prepare or order something easy the babysitter can serve without stress.

8. Leave emergency contacts

Give them your number, backup contacts, and any medical details they might need.

9. Set house rules

Be clear on snacks, screen time, and bedtime flexibility.

10. Show appreciation

Since they’re working on a date night, consider a bonus, chocolates, or a thank-you note.

See our parents' guide to Valentine's Day babysitting for more detailed information.
