I’ve always been drawn to working with children because I genuinely enjoy who they are—curious, honest, creative, and constantly learning. I studied psychology, which gave me a strong foundation in child development, emotional regulation, and understanding behavior with empathy rather than punishment. I’m especially attentive to children’s emotional worlds and take pride in creating a space where they feel safe, understood, and encouraged to be themselves.Art is a big part of my life, and I love bringing creativity into caregiving—whether that’s drawing, crafting, storytelling, or simply helping kids express their feelings in nonverbal ways. I find that creativity helps children build confidence and problem-solving skills, and it also makes everyday routines more joyful. Families I’ve worked with have appreciated my calm presence, reliability, and ability to connect deeply with their children. I’m patient, playful, and intuitive, but also structured when it comes to routines, boundaries, and safety. I take my role seriously and see caregiving as both a responsibility and a privilege. I truly love supporting children as they grow into confident, kind, and curious humans.Skills: Art, Digital Art (photoshop), Cooking, Homework Help (UC Berkeley-grad)

Hi! My name is Larissa, and I’m a student at UC Berkeley spending my summer in the Bay Area. I’m currently on a pre law track and actively involved in my community. I work as a legal intern at Open Door Legal and serve as a Political Correspondent for the Black Pre Law Association, where I focus on communication, leadership, and advocacy. I am Ethiopian and come from a close knit, family oriented background. I was raised by a single mother, which has shaped me into someone who is dependable, nurturing, and very responsible. I’ve always naturally taken on a caring role, especially with younger kids, and I truly enjoy creating a fun, safe, and supportive environment for them. I have a big heart and love working with children. I have two younger sisters, so I’m very familiar with keeping kids engaged, helping with routines, and making everyday moments fun. Whether it’s helping with homework, planning creative activities, or just being someone they feel comfortable around, I bring positive energy, patience, and attentiveness. I am also very organized and great at following directions, which allows me to adapt easily to each family’s needs and routines. I am currently learning how to cook as well, so I am more than happy to help with preparing simple meals and following any instructions you provide in the kitchen. I am currently seeking a summer opportunity where I can support a family in a meaningful way. I take my responsibilities seriously and pride myself on being communicative, reliable, and positive. I would love to be a supportive and uplifting presence for your family.
