Hello! My name is Larissa, and I would be honored to be considered for a babysitting opportunity with your family. I am 33 years old and a proud mom to my 7 year old daughter, Denali. We live in the West Valley, and she attends second grade at a private Christian school. Professionally, I am the Director of National Brokerage Operations at HomeSmart International, where I have worked for more than 10 years. I moved from California to Arizona in 2011 to attend college and earned my Bachelor of Science degree with an emphasis in Psychology and Pre Med. Outside of work, I love spending time with my daughter at parks, the pool, local events, and with family. I am very family oriented and understand how important it is to know your child is safe, happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I have experience babysitting from my preteen years through Read more my early 20s. I cared for children for several families in my neighborhood, as well as my parents' friends' children and other family members' children. I have always genuinely enjoyed caring for children and have experience with a variety of ages. When my daughter was born in 2019, her father and I completed parenting and child safety classes. I also refreshed my CPR training with a focus on infants and toddlers and remain confident in responding appropriately in an emergency. Coming from a large family with many younger cousins, I am especially comfortable caring for infants and toddlers. I take the responsibility of caring for someone else's child very seriously and would provide the same patience, kindness, and attentiveness I would want for my own child. I am an active member of CCV Surprise and enjoy being involved in my community and my daughter's school. I am also happy to care for family pets, although we do not currently have pets of our own. My availability is primarily evenings and weekends, but I can arrange ongoing weekday care Monday through Friday, depending on your needs! I would love the opportunity to provide your family with a safe, fun, and nurturing environment while giving you peace of mind knowing your child is in caring and responsible hands. Warmly, Larissa

I couldn’t recommend her more highly. She genuinely loves children. She’s wonderful with multiple kids at once—patient, organized, and able to keep everyone engaged and happy without any stress. As a great mother herself, she brings a warm, nurturing approach that makes kids feel safe and cared for. She has a truly good heart and is someone I trust completely with my children. I always feel at ease knowing they’re in her hands. Highly recommend!

Larissa is the absolute best! She is the most caring, kind, and interactive person ever! She has a daughter of her own and that really shows when caring for your kids. She gives the same energy and love as she would to her own. I highly recommend Larissa! I also have the blessing of knowing her for over 10 years and can say from the bottom of my heart she is amazing with kiddos. Her positive energy is contagious!
