Hi there! My name is Larissa! I'm excited to find new opportunities on Sittercity. A little bit about me.. I've earned a bachelor's degree in psychology and social sciences and have lots of experience with children, pets, senior citizens, housekeeping, and more. I worked in childcare facilities for a few years and I have babysat and nannied for several years. I have taken CPR & first aid classes and taken some graduate level courses on human development. In addition to my educational endeavors, I've got the real world experience it takes to be a great caregiver. I am a mother who manages a household, so I'm familiar with good housekeeping practices and cooking. Additionally, I've got plenty of experience with animals. From cats and dogs to ferrets and iguanas, I've handled and cared for them all! I also have experience in caring for senior citizens, specifically those struggling with dementia/ALZ. Read more I'd be happy to meet with your family and/or furry friends to see if I'd be a good match to handle your care needs!
