About Marissa

I'm a loving, patient stay-at-home mom to a busy toddler and our sweet family dog. With a lifelong passion for working with children and animals, caregiving comes naturally. I bring both formal education and hands-on experience to every role I take on. I hold a bachelor's in Elementary Education with a minor in ESL and have 2 years of classroom teaching experience. My background has given me strong skills I use daily as both a parent and caregiver. Experience includes: * 3 years in professional daycare * Years of babysitting children of all ages * Full-time parenting and pet care * 2 years teaching at elementary and middle school levels These roles have deepened my understanding of child development and social-emotional needs. I treat every child and animal as if they were my own-with patience, empathy, and intentional care. If you're looking for someone experienced, trustworthy, and genuinely passionate about caregiving, I'd love to connect!
