Hi parents! I am a former kindergarten teacher who stepped away from teaching when my daughter was born - she recently turned 2. For the past year and a half, I've also been caring for another little girl who is 2 months older than her, as well as her 5-year-old brother. They will both be starting school in September, so while I'm heartbroken to be leaving them, I'm excited to build a family-like relationship with another family! In my care, we spend our days doing fun, structured & unstructured activities, outdoor play, crafts, dance parties, and even light FUN educational work (I can absolutely help with homework when needed, and assist with any struggle areas your child may have). The children stay busy, happy, and learning! I send picture updates throughout the day. My daughter plays well with others her age, ADORES babies, and really looks up to older children. I have excellent references should you need any! Please let me know if you have any questions.
We feel so incredibly lucky to have found Karissa! She has been a true gift to our family. From the moment she started, she connected beautifully with our kids—showing patience, warmth, and a genuine love for spending time with them. She consistently comes up with fun, creative, and educational activities that keep them engaged and excited to learn and play. Her communication with us is thoughtful and reliable. She keeps us updated throughout the day with little check-ins, photos, and notes that help us feel connected even when we’re not home. I especially appreciate how proactive she is—whether it’s organizing crafts, planning themed learning days, or simply noticing and responding to our children’s changing needs. It gives us so much peace of mind knowing our kids are in such good hands. She’s responsible, nurturing, and truly part of our family now. We are beyond happy with everything she brings into our lives and can’t recommend her enough!
