About Marissa

I've worked as a lead teacher in toddler and in infant rooms up until about two years ago. I have both a bachelor's and a master's degree in social services, with a specialization in children and families. I'm currently a stay at home mom to two kids age 2 and 4. I'm a big fan of play. I believe in encouraging children to explore and be creative. We live in a national park so we spend a lot of time having outdoor adventures. Our days are filled with art, music, as many gross motor activities as we can come up with, and lots and lots of child led play. I read Peaceful Parent, Happy Kids when my son was about two and I use that book as my guide to emotional development. I'm currently looking for a part time nanny position that's not too far from our home in Peninsula. Or for a family willing to bring their child to our home. Thank you for your consideration!
