About Larissa

Creating a safe, nurturing environment is always my top priority. I care for children of all ages, and aim to meet each one where they are. I blend structure and gentle guidance with warmth and play, helping kids feel secure, confident, and loved. Inspired by Montessori values, I encourage hands-on learning and independence through fun, meaningful activities like cooking, painting, nature walks, and park adventures. I also am CPR certified, and a former lifeguard and swim instructor. As a nursing student graduating in 2026, I bring compassion, patience, and a deep respect for childhood. I tailor my care to each child's personality and needs, and strive to be a calm, supportive presence who helps them grow into kind, capable, and joyful individuals. When you invite me into your child's life, you're getting more than just a caregiver; you're getting someone who's genuinely excited to cheer them on, share in their little victories, and make each day a safe, memorable adventure.
