Hi! Iβm a college student studying Health Care Management with a real love for working with kids. I have 2 years of paid experience caring for children, including a regular job with two kids ages 5 and 7. I also completed a course where I worked hands-on with preschoolers, planning fun learning activities a few times a week. Iβm dependable, and always bring a patient, playful energy to every job. Iβm comfortable with pets, happy to help with light cleaning, and always aim to create a safe, fun environment for kids to grow. Iβd love to be part of your familyβs routine!

Hi, my name is Carissa and I have been babysitting and working with children since I was 13. I have always loved getting to talk and play with kids, each of their imaginations and talents are so unique! I have previously worked in camp and church ministries where I had the opportunity to work with children of all ages in small and large group settings. This experience included taking care of children ages 5-18 overnight and organizing fun activities! In all settings I pay special attention to child safety after serving as a lifeguard and director of volunteer child protection training. I have also had the privilege of doing a six month internship in Guatemala where I lived and worked with women and children with physical and developmental disabilities.
