About Carissa

Hello! My name is Carissa and I am offering occasional child care. Whether a special event or a date night, let me know how I can help. I am a nanny with a background in pediatric speech-language pathology specializing in early intervention and working with preschool-aged kiddos. I have always had a passion for working with children and have casually babysat or nannied for multiple families for the past 14 years. With my expertise as a speech-language pathologist, I understand the importance of play and providing a safe, nurturing environment for children to thrive. I am passionate about promoting literacy through shared book reading and taking a gentle parenting style of approach. If you're looking for a reliable, caring, and fun-loving sitter, I'd love to talk with you! I'm an active and engaged caregiver and willing to help with light housework, run errands, etc. References are available upon request.
