About Carissa

Hello! My name is Carissa, and I am college graduate with a degree in psychology, and currently work as a case manager for a non profit organization. I have over 7 years of hands-on childcare experience, including working with infants, toddlers, and children with special needs. I have had the privilege of supporting many children on the autism spectrum, and I am passionate about creating safe, nurturing, and engaging environments tailored to each child's unique needs. I am certified in CPR, first aid, and administration of medication, ensuring that I can respond quickly and responsibly in any situation. I am a huge animal lover and always enjoy spending time outdoors, whether that's exploring nature or encouraging kids to stay active and curious about the world around them. I truly value building strong relationships with both children and families, and I take pride in being dependable, patient, and compassionate in my care. I look forward to connecting!
