Meet Marissa

  • Speaks English
  • Comfortable with pets

Hi! My name is Marissa, I am a first year student in college where I’m studying special needs education and human services. I grew up in Philadelphia and later graduated from conestoga high school(right outside the Philly school district). Along with attending conestoga, I also graduated from a technical college high school where I studied early childcare education and got a lot of experience under my belt. I have worked 2 summers in a childcare center, one being infants and toddlers, and the other being an autistic support preschool. Additionally, I have had various internships and work opportunities at schools like renaissance academy, chesterbrook academy, and TCHS pickering’s preschool. In this time I have gotten various certifications and training such as CPR, first-aid, completion of BetterKidCare online course, etc. I also have my TB test and shots and I have all of my clearances like fingerprints and background checks and Read more plenty of references that I have available upon request:). These certifications are to work in a childcare center in the state of pennsylvania, however, I am slowly getting them transferred to Florida but it takes some time and I only recently moved to Jacksonville where I will be staying the next 4 years for my school. I plan on studying to be a special education specialist and entering the field of speech pathology or spectrum support. I l love to be outside, and I love going for runs. I play rugby and I used to row (plan on starting racing again once I’m settled) and I love doing art, I’ve found that kids tend to enjoy my hobbies which is always nice! I constantly try my best at trying to be more entertaining than a tablet and although it isn’t easy I love spending quality time with my students and I make it a huge priority in my work as it’s crucial to the social-emotional development of a child. I am pretty flexible with my schedule and I respond pretty quickly, so please let me know if you need anything or have more questions!

Marissa is a unicorn. She quickly became part of my family and the only reason she is no longer with us is because she went to school, despite my attempts to get her to stay. She is absolutely amazing and any family she works with will be absolutely lucky to have her.
