About Carissa

Hi there ! I'm an enthusiastic VACCINATED career nanny with over 20 years working in direct care of children . I have worked all over the world with kids from all kinds of backgrounds . I have extensive knowledge and am creative. I'm lighthearted but believe in structure and schedules when it comes to children ! I take every course available to stay up to date with the most current childcare trends as well as have postpartum doula training I have worked with infants . I have worked in residential facilities with all ages. I am also a former preschool teacher / camp counselor / lifeguard and kayak instructor I was with my last family for 6 years in the UES . I consider myself a career NYC nanny. Navigating the city with multiple toddlers or an infant is a very niche talent I have. I love exploring the parks and museums the city has to offer and using them to enrich the lives of the children I care for. I have a vast nanny network and love to help plan play dates and fun adventures .
