About Carissa

Experience: 7 yrs

Hi! I'm Carissa! I'm a certified teacher looking to provide childcare services over the summer, but would also be open to providing care services during the school year on nights and/or weekends. My seven years of teaching experience have fostered within me the desire to positively impact children's lives. I'm a friendly and caring individual with a Master's Degree in Special Education and Literacy and a Bachelor's Degree in Adolescent Education-Social Studies. I enjoy playing outdoor water games, board games, educational games, and promoting the use of imagination. I am comfortable caring for multiple children and enforcing household rules. I am also happy to help with light housekeeping, swimming supervision, laundry, etc. I am trained in Youth Mental Health First Aid. I believe in fostering development through engaging activities. I look forward to the opportunity to get to know you better and discuss how I would be a great fit for your family!

Carissa is great with my 2 yo little guy. He's always excited to see her, and she sends pictures during the day of what they are up to. She's easy to communicate with and always prompt and on time. Highly recommend!
