I have taken care of children since I was ~12 years old and took my first nanny job at 16. I am a credentialed teacher and currently teach 3rd grade in Monterey.

Larissa was so sweet and wonderful with our kids. We hired her and another sitter to come for a full day while we were in town for an event. She was a natural with our 6 month old and I felt like our kids were in great hands. She worked well with the other sitter we hired and her communication was excellent. Would recommend her to anyone and would hire again next time we are in town.

Larissa was absolutely wonderful! She was warm, personable, responsible and capable, and our girls were in great hands in her care. I truly could not ask for more from our sitter for 20 hours over the course of our trip to Carmel. Highly highly recommended!

Larissa was incredible with my daughter (3yo) and son (6mos). She was communicative, prompt, and kind. We were in Monterrey for a wedding and she stayed in the hotel suite with them for several hours. She made them feel safe, fed them dinner, and helped put them to bed. My daughter woke up the next morning asking "where is my new friend?". I wish she lived in our area so we could have her sit regularly! Thank you Larissa! 

Larissa was amazing!  I was coming from out of town and needed a babysitter to watch my 2 1/2 year old son while my husband and I attended a wedding.  First of all, she was prompt in her communication with me and offered to talk about the job via online chat.  Meeting and chatting with her online put me more at ease and I knew that she would be a good fit for my son.  My son was immediately taken with her and barely noticed/cared that my husband and I were leaving.  She kept him occupied for 5 hours in a hotel suite (no easy feat with a toddler), gave him dinner and put him to bed.  Several days later and my son is still mentioning the fun activities they did together and the songs they sang.  Too bad Larissa doesn't live in our area because we would definitely use her again!

I first met Larissa in a professional setting, where she was always very timely, reliable and respectful. It was only a few months of working together before we became fast friends. She is extremely caring and sensitive, and I'm lucky to have as one of my dearest friends today. One of the best things that connects us is our ability to have fun and enjoy life. She brightens the room when she walks in, and will bring this same positivity to any job. I would recommend hiring Larissa, as she will exceed expectations and is a joy to be around!

I've hired Larissa occasionally to watch my 7 year boy  old and 3 year old girl. She's amazing with my kids and I trust her like she's family. The attention to detail, care and love she shows my kids you would think she is family. I believe she's destined to be around children and my kids love her. She's proactive about telling me if something is going wrong and also sends me updates as needed. I love the fact that I can have peace of mind when I leave my kids with Larissa. You won't be disappointed!

She is very good with my toddlers and loves to organize activities for them to do. She is so caring and my kids look forward to seeing her every time!

I'm really picky about babysitters. There are plenty of nice people I know who I wouldn't leave my kids alone with. But Larissa is very good with babies and toddlers, as well as respectful of boundaries and limitations. She is enthusiastic about children and has lots of positive energy to give. She's a solid, respectable role model. I feel comfortable leaving my daughters with her any time; my oldest, Samantha, is one and a half and my youngest, Matilda, is infant. Larissa is  always my first choice. So glad she's here!

Larissa has a terrific way with kids.  I have observed her volunteering at a program for kids with special needs and she is extremely patient and warm.  She also ensures a safe environment and that everyone is treated with respect.  I would 100% trust Larissa to care for my own child.  She has a knack for kids of all ages (including babies) and is as dependable as they come!
