Hi parents and gaurdians! My name is Marissa and I am currently a full-time student at Portland State University, working towards my Masters in Social Work with a concentration focus in Children, Youth, and Families. My goal is to become a Licensed School Social Worker. Prior to moving to Oregon in 2018, I spent 9 years regularly babysitting for two different families, one with twin girls and one with 3 boys. *I am extremely allergic to cats. For this reason, I cannot babysit for families with cats.

Marissa is so sweet and bubbly, yet also very professional. I hired her as a backup ”sitter” for my toddler, and she was wonderful. I felt like my son was in good hands when I left for work. She texted me updates all day like how much he ate, what he was playing with and how long he napped. I will definitely be calling her again very soon!

My husband and I used Marissa for sitting while we stayed in Vegas at the Ballys hotel. She was polite, professional, and open to staying a little later if we needed her too. With in minutes of meeting her I felt very comfortable to leave my 10 month old while we went to dinner and a show. I highly recommend her for sitting.

Marissa was great with my 3 children. It was my first time leaving them with a sitter and she put me and them at ease. They now absolutely adore her and get excited when they hear were going to Vegas just so she can babysit. She brought books and games and really made it fun for them every time. We have now had her babysit several times and are happy each time. Thank you Marissa!

Upon meeting Marissa I was instantly comfortable with her. She has a gentle manner, lots of experience and is extremely trustworthy. She put our extremely attached toddler at ease and put up with our general silliness surrounding "going out" in Las Vegas. Would not hesitate to call her next time we're in Las Vegas. Thank you for a job well done!

Marissa watched my 7 month old baby girl at our hotel room while we were vacationing in Las Vegas. Not only was this my first experience using sittercity.com, it was the first time leaving my daugher with a sitter, so I was very nervous. However, Marissa made this experience the best it could have been! My posting was very last minute, but she responded to all my messages promptly and I was able to speak with one of her references beforehand which solidified my decision. She arrived at our hotel 15 minutes early and as I was frantically finishing getting ready and giving her all the info , she remained calm and collected and I knew my daughter was in good hands. She texted with me throughout the night so I felt reassured that everything was ok. I checked with her about staying later than planned, and it was no problem, which let my husband and I enjoy the night leisurely without feeling like we had to rush back to the hotel. Marissa was the perfect babysitter and I would highly recommend her to watch your children. If my family is ever back in Las Vegas, I would call her in a heartbeat!

Marissa is currently my part-time Nanny and has been for the last year...I have twin two-year olds and I have to say she is the fifth nanny I have had and the very best!!!! I can fully trust her when I leave the house to do errands or for date night..the girls love her!! She tends to their every need and plays with them constantly even bringing in new things that will amuse them and teach them!! I am a first time anxious mother and she always helps me with my worries or questions..she is the BEST!!

Marissa was a wonderful babysitter to both my 3 year old daughter and newborn son. We were in Vegas for a wedding, and we were very hesitant to leave our children with someone we didn't know, but upon meeting and talking to Marissa, we knew we could trust her, and knew my children would be in good hands. She brought games and books for my daughter, and taught her card games and made necklaces with her, and she was wonderfull at caring for my 3 month old. I highly recommend her to anyone who is visiting Vegas or to residents there. She is a delightful, responsible, lovely person.

Marissa was excellent. She showed up early and spent that time getting to know us as a family. My kids were nervous and she put them at ease. Marissa spent the entire night playing and talking with my kids. As soon as I got home my son asked if Marissa could come back again soon. Thank you so much!
