About Carissa

Experience: 3 yrs

For three years, I was a dedicated contract caregiver, providing compassionate support to in-home clients with special needs. My expertise extends to daily living activities-community connections, cleaning, assisting with bathing, dressing, and meal preparation-ensuring their comfort and overall well-being. As a CPR/first aid-certified professional, I offer medication reminders and emotional support. But it is more than a job for me! My personal journey caring for my father during his final moments in hospice care profoundly shaped my approach. It ignited a passion for empathy, honed my emotional intelligence, and taught me the art of active listening. I navigate sensitive situations with discretion, fostering trust and dignity for those I serve. Let's create meaningful connections.

Carissa was great working with my mom. She helped run errands, take her to appointments, kept my mom company and assisted with various tasks. She is kind, respectful, on time and was friendly to work with.
