Meet Karissa

Hello! My name is Karissa and I am originally from Texas, though I now live in New York City! My very first job was babysitting when I was 13 years old and now as a graduate student, I still love working with kiddos! I have over ten years of experience babysitting and tutoring and have worked with many children with developmental disabilities in both the volunteer and clinical setting. I have two bachelor's degrees (one in psychology and another in nutritional sciences) and am currently working towards my masters degree in clinical nutrition at New York University. I ultimately want to work with kids in pediatric critical care! In my free time, I love reading, writing, traveling, exercise, and cooking! My personality is very outgoing and upbeat which makes me a good match for most energetic kids!
