I go by Jay, not Alyssa!

Hey! My name is Jay, and I’m an experienced baby and pet sitter who just moved to the Chicago area. I’ve been babysitting professionally since I was 14, and have worked with kids since even before that.

My previous profession was an ABA Therapist, where I worked to provide therapy and skills training to children with autism. I worked with autistic children of all ages all over the spectrum, including nonverbal and “low functioning” children. I’m a registered behavioral therapist, with extensive training on how to deal with children’s problem behaviors in a constructive and healthy way. Additionally, I’ve volunteered in church daycares with children ages 0-7, and worked extensively with children during my time as an employee at Build-a-Bear workshop.

I enjoy storytelling, teaching, cooking, and playing pretend with children. I also love to introduce children to the arts, with lots of singing and dancing and drawing
