About Marissa

I have experience caring for children of all ages, with a strong focus on infants and toddlers. I was a toddler head teacher at a preschool for 4 years, working with children ages 18 months to 2 years 9 months. I currently care for a 14-month-old (started when she was 9 months old) as well as school-age children ages 10, 14, and 15. In the past, I provided after-school care for a 7-year-old and I regularly babysit for a family with an 8-year-old and a 3-year-old (I began working with them when the younger child was born). I also come from a large family and am the second oldest sibling, with my youngest sibling being 16 years younger than me, and I helped care for him as well. I hold an Infant/Toddler CDA, am CPR & First Aid certified, NYS MAT trained, and fingerprinted through New York State. I'd love to connect and learn more about your family's needs!
