About Marissa

AVAILABILITY: My availability calendar is up to date through November! I'm only available as a fill-in, backup or date night nanny. I have another job so I cannot commit to anything recurring. However, I do have full weeks available occasionally & availability for morning/afternoon errands and nights out. Also happy to to be your go-to for house and dog sitting! I have 18 years of experience as a nanny and children's outdoor educator. I've also taught swimming lessons, lead school gardening programs and children's recreation programs at camps for kids with special needs. I love coming up with creative indoor activities but getting kids outside is at the top of my list! I prioritize cultivating healthy emotional and intellectual development so your kids can lead a balanced and connected life. I deal with outbursts compassionately over punitively while teaching them how to advocate for their own needs. I also enjoy promoting activities that foster curiosity and growth.
