A little about me: I am a momma bear, which is where my patience, love, and nurturing traits kick in. I've babysat all ages including special needs children. Growing up with my cousin T, I knew she needed extra attention and affirmation. T has Prader Willi Syndrome. From low muscle tone, eating disorders, temper tantrums, fixation etc children and adults with special needs can be challenging. But being around her I was blessed with so much joy and appreciation for the little things in life. Because of her I was inspired and found one of my passions... working with children and adults with special needs. During my time in CA, I volunteered at RAD Camp, which is a volunteer run non-profit organization for children and adults with developmental disabilities. I have some of my most fond memories there. Please reach out; I'd love to share more!

Carissa was absolutely fantastic and was great with my son who is on the spectrum. Her duties included facilitating remote learning for my son as well as overall childcare. She was creative, thoughtful, and patient. Carissa blended right in with my family and I felt comfortable having her work with my son.
