About Carissa

I am a responsible, caring, and experienced educator with 25 years of experience working with children and adolescents in both academic and structured activity settings. I bring a calm, patient, and organized approach to childcare, with a strong focus on safety, consistency, and positive engagement. I am comfortable supporting children with homework, routines, and structured activities, as well as encouraging healthy habits and active play. My background in education allows me to naturally support learning, behavior guidance, and age-appropriate development. Families describe me as reliable, professional, and easy to communicate with, while also being warm and engaging with children. I prioritize creating a safe, respectful, and supportive environment where children feel comfortable and parents feel confident. Availability is limited.
