Hi! My name is Marissa and I have about 3 years of experience in child care. I have worked at a day camp for 2 summers, teaching swimming lessons to children age 5-12, and at a residential camp for children with special needs age 6-18. Some of the special needs that I have experience with are Autism, Cerebral Palsy, and visual impairments. I have also worked as a babysitter for families that I know personally, with children ranging from 18 months- 10 years old. While I don't have much experience caring for children under 2, I am comfortable with any age range. I love working with kids, and I want to make a positive impact on their lives.
