Hi! I’m a college student studying Health Care Management with a real love for working with kids. I have over 2 years of paid childcare experience, including regularly caring for two children ages 5 and 7. I’ve personally worked with children ranging from 6 months to 12 years old.I also completed a course where I worked hands-on with preschoolers, planning and leading fun, educational activities several times a week. I’m dependable and always bring a patient, playful energy to every job. My goal is to create a safe, supportive, and fun environment where children can learn and grow! I’m comfortable with pets, happy to help with light housekeeping, and would love to become a positive part of your family’s routine! I’m also a big animal lover and have grown up with both dogs and cats my entire life. :)

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.
