About Larissa
Experience: 12 yrs
Hello, I've been providing high-quality care for about 12 years, and I'm now looking for my next adventure with a wonderful family. I'm patient, dependable, and genuinely caring. I believe every child deserves to feel respected, understood, and valued for who they are. I love supporting children as they grow into their own personalities, honoring their feelings, and encouraging their uniqueness. I also love following Montessori principles, especially the idea of "help me do it myself." I believe children gain confidence when we guide them with patience, independence, and respect, while still providing a safe and loving environment. I'm CPR certified and bring with me the knowledge I've gained from child development classes, as well as my Safe Food Handler certification. My goal is always to provide care that gives parents peace of mind and helps children feel safe, supported, and encouraged every day. I would love the opportunity to connect and learn more about your family.
Most recent review
Larissa is an exceptional nanny, and we feel incredibly fortunate to have had her care for our son. She is trustworthy, reliable, professional and deeply loving. She forms genuine bonds with the children in her care, and it has always been clear how safe and loved our son feels with her. Our son has food allergies, and Larissa has managed them with tremendous care and confidence. She is dependable, consistently on time and an excellent communicator. Most importantly, she truly loves the children she cares for. We trust Larissa completely and could not recommend her more highly to another family.
