Hi! My name is Marissa, I am 27 years old. I am currently a graduate student at George Mason University working toward a PhD in developmental psychology. I have extensive experience with children. I spent the last few years supplementing work and graduate school with babysitting children ranging from 5 to 17 years old. Additionally I have formal experience working in a preschool settings in both Arlington VA and NJ. I also spent 6 weeks working in an orphanage in Cambodia teaching English to children of all ages. When babysitting, I always try to stay involved with the children whether that's playing with legos, going to the park, or having them help me cook dinner. As a graduate student my schedule is fairly open and flexible.
