Hi I am looking for opportunities for winter break, spring break and summer break. Please reach out if I can assist at this point with your family. My name is Karessa. I am a trained clinical social worker and I live in Oakland, CA. A little bit about what I am looking for: I am currently open to provide some one-time care for families. I want to partner with you to provide great care. I like healthy communication and respect of boundaries. A little bit about my childcare experiences: My previous work experiences have been in youth development as a mentor, tutor, teacher, and workshop facilitator in schools. I have no problem tutoring your children if this is something that will be a need. In the past, I worked in a therapeutic pre-school setting and also did play therapy in a clinic with children 2-6 years old. I often spent time reading, creating fun crafts and projects, and being outdoors with the children. A fun fact about me is speak Spanish!

Karessa was an amazing sitter for my son and his best friend during a preschool shut down. She explored new adventures for them, basing her choices on what the boys expressed and liked. My son still talks about the story time they went to together. She was patient, kind, engaging and communicative. I am so glad we found and hired Karessa and recommend her strongly.
