Meet Carissa

  • Comfortable with pets
  • Has a car

Hello! My name is Carissa. I currently babysit one 11 year old occasionally, and realized I want to make the switch to working with children from my current career path of software support. I love caring for others and empowering people through technology, however, it is much more enjoyable to work with children than with adults who's software isn't working :) I have many years of helping friends and family with their children. I have a big family with 8 nieces and a nephew, that I help out with. They range in age from under 1 year and the oldest is in her early 20s. I also had younger siblings I also cared for when I was younger. My mom was a nanny and preschool teacher, so I grew up in a very educational and child positive environment. I love singing and playing instruments, spending time in nature, crafting and Read more knitting. I love being able to express myself through creativity, and it is my pleasure to share and create with your children, for a more educational playtime. Let's chat and discuss your needs and see how I can help you!
