About Clarissa

I have been caring for kids since the age of 13 since I was raised in a big family. I would always babysit for my 7 aunts so I have experience with every age group. I like to get to know who I am babysitting and just ask simple question so that we are able to connect and build a good relationship. I believe this helps with them complying to rules and feel comfortable. I have worked with the children's and youth ministry at church ever since I was 15, and have worked at an after school program. I also worked as a teacher aid/substitute at a private school with ages 4-16. I love kids and it's really easy for me to connect with them. I am very strict on homework and tutoring, and I also encourage physical activity and fun brain games so that they are growing in every area. I also have 2 nieces that are 2 and 1 who I babysit and watch frequently so and I know how to follow routines. I am also very comfortable with pets in the home.
