With over 10 years of experience in childcare, I have had the privilege of working with children of all ages, from newborns to teenagers. I have a strong background in running a successful daycare, both in my home and at a licensed center, which has equipped me with valuable skills in managing routines, nurturing growth, and ensuring safety in diverse environments. As a professional nanny, I have provided personalized care to numerous families, tailoring my approach to meet each child's individual needs. One of the most rewarding aspects of my work is watching children reach new milestones, and I take great pride in helping them develop confidence, curiosity, and independence. I'm fully equipped with my own vehicle and maintain a clean driving record, ensuring reliable transportation.

Marrissa has been caring for our LO since he was 12 weeks old - he’s 6 months now. He ADORES her and it’s so nice to feel like he is being loved and cared for like a parent would when we’re not there. She is super thoughtful. She always sends updates and asks even minor questions if she doesn’t know how we’d approach something. She also can handle when things aren’t easy peasy and has never made us feel like caring for LO was tough, even when we know it was. As we’ve transitioned into being parents, marrissa has been an incredible sounding board and thought partner on what good next steps for him are. That said, she never oversteps. She’s always there to offer advice from her experience working with kiddos of all ages, but she’s not going to tell you “this is just how it’s done” lol. Marrissa plans developmentally appropriate outings and activities that our son really enjoys. It’s so hard to find someone you can trust without reservation with your LO. If that’s what you’re looking for, Marrissa’s it!
