About Marissa

I've been in childcare for over 8 years now. I've worked full-time at Bright Horizons and part-time with several gig-based agencies. This means I am up-to-date with infant/child first aid and CPR, safe sleep and mealtime practices for the little ones, and all my vaccinations (flu too!) I got my bachelors at Loyola University Chicago in psych and behavioral cognitive neuroscience in 2022 and have been using it to nurture children and their families ever since. Currently, I work full-time supporting youth through the field of social work, so I'm limited to weekends, and the occasional weekday evening. I bring a calm approach to childcare, prioritizing that your child feels comfortable - which can be hard with a new sitter! It's also important to me that we stick to their routine as much as possible and that I follow your lead with any redirecting of behaviors. I do specialize in infant care and can tell you more about that should you have any questions, but I'm comfortable with all ages.
