About Carissa

Experience: 6 yrs

Hello! I am smack dab in the middle of a big family, two members of which are my nieces. I grew up helping to care for them. I also have additional professional nanny experience with mostly younger children, though I am comfortable with all ages. I am very adaptable, creative, patient, and love children. I just earned my Associates in Arts for Transfer in Liberal Arts/Theatre (so I can be quite entertaining for youngins). I began my college journey pursuing Childhood Education, so I have successfully completed coursework on child development and education. I was a lifeguard in New York back when I was 18, so I have been CPR certified. I am working on becoming re-certified at the moment. I love nutrition and cooking nourishing meals - nutrition is actually one of my passions. I'm no professional, but I can whip something up. I would love to help in any way that I can. It takes a village, I'd love to be a part of yours! :)

Riss is punctual and reliable. She stayed an extra 30 mins later due to appointment running late. My kids loved her and were asking her not to leave. She clicked with them right away and kept them busy. Will definitely hire her again. 😊
