About Karissa

I'm a mom of 5, ages 5-15. I have a background in childcare/education stretching back 20+ years. I'm available to take on one infant in my home. My hours are completely flexible. I worked as a nanny and household manager for a family of 7 for 5 years. I've taught preschool and kids' art classes. My coursework is in early childhood ed. I've worked as PTA President and VP at my kids' schools, and I led a troop of Girl Scouts for 5 years. I follow respectful/progressive childcare. My home is a playful, safe, loving place. I have experience childproofing up to state licensing standards. First aid/CPR certified, clean driving record, non-smoker, non-drinker, no pets. I'm up to date on all immunizations, including Covid/flu. I'm educated in Montessori, and other methods. When your child is in my care, your desires will always be respected. I'm happy to answer any questions and to set up a time to meet.
