About Marissa

Hi, I'm Marissa. I've lived in the PNW for over a year now and I am seeking my next opportunity with a wonderful family. As the oldest of my siblings, caregiving has always been a part of my day-to-day. So naturally, I turned to childcare as a profession at the age of 16, and I've never looked back. My background caring for infants, toddlers, and youth started when I worked as a preschool assistant in high school. My experience also expands across all age groups including special needs. I find such joy in being a positive mentor in a child's life. I've been working in childcare for the last 5 years and am CPR & First Aid Certified. In my free time, I enjoy mountain hiking, going to the library, and going to the local pet shelter to spend time with animals who need some extra love between homes. I'm looking forward to finding the next family that I'll be working with long-term.
