Hello y holá, me llamo Marissa/my name is Marissa. I adore Spanish and love peppering it into conversations just to keep life fun. ;) I find that many children enjoy learning little words in Spanish, so I do bring that to my job when babysitting. I love to play; my mother ran a daycare for several years when I was younger (so I have known how to change diapers, feed, bathe, and watch over children between the ages of 9 months to 14 years old. I am also a good disciplinarian, firm yet calm -- and enjoy taking time whenever possible to understand a kid before choosing how to "punish" or handle a situation. I use timeouts typically or a little household chore... but of course whatever you think is best is the guideline I would follow for your individual and unique family. :) I was a lifeguard for 6 Read more years, entonces (therfore...) your children would be very safe with me near the water, if we were to go swimming. :) I look forward to learning more about you and your childs' needs so that I can best interact with them when learning, teaching, and playing as an amazing bilingué fun responsible skilled babysitter. Get to know me!
