Hi! My name is Karissa and I have 16 years of babysitting/nanny experience with infants- 13 years. I started babysitting at 11 years old. Since early childhood I have always loved babies and being a caretaker, and that love has turned into a passion. I'm not afraid to play pretend or get messy outside! 8. 5 years of early childhood education experience, 3 years as lead toddler teacher, because of this experience I have my CDA (Child Developmental Associate Credential). I obtained this through schooling at Schoolcraft College. I do still currently work at a childcare program, but I'm looking to leave so I can help 1-4 children grow developmentally and explore together, longer than 6 months at a time before they move on. Hands on experience with ADHD, Autism and Cognitive disabilities/delays. CPR/First Aid trained and certified, both pediatric and adult. A reliable car and drivers license. No accidents. Comfortable driving your child(ren) if provided car seats.
Karissa has been my babysitter for several years, starting when my daughter was about 8 years old. Now that she's 11, she still gets excited every time Karissa comes over! It's clear that Karissa genuinely loves working with children and truly cares about the kids she watches. She goes above and beyond, and it has always been obvious that she's not just doing it for the money—she builds real connections with the children and creates a fun, caring, and trustworthy environment. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and compassionate babysitter!
