Hello Parents, I'm First Aid / CPR Certified for infant, child and adults, Trustline registered in CA and have been fully vaccinated. I have a degree in Early Childhood Education from Santa Monica College and I'm continuing coursework in Health, Safety and Nutrition as well as Infants and Toddlers. I am a Newborn Care Specialist and have helped new parents transition back to work. I have taught toddlers and preschoolers at a Montessori Preschool and have worked as a Resource Teacher at Bright Horizon's Daycare and Preschool for a 300 family facility at Northwestern Memorial Hospital for children 3 month infants thru 6 years old. My childcare philosophy is to encourage a child's natural interests, talents, and individual growth by being positive, patient, loving, nurturing and kind. I enjoy reading, singing / dancing and playing outdoors with children utilizing every opportunity as a learning experience. I’m also a Swim Instructor Read more and offer one on one private, semi private and group lessons for water safety and technique in a fun and non competitive approach. Thank you and I look forward to connecting with you soon for your child's care! Marisa D.

We hired Marisa to take care of our eight month old on New Years Eve, and she was wonderful! She was very sweet with our baby, and it’s clear she has a lot of experience working with infants. She completely followed our bedtime program that we have, and same when our baby had a false start and woke up. She was easily able to get her back down to sleep, which was our biggest fear in hiring a babysitter for the first time. In addition, she was very communicative — letting us know how everything was going and sending us photos along the way. I’ll be hiring Marisa again in the future!

Marisa is trustworthy, reliable, kind, and wonderful with infants. She helped me several times with my 8 month old infant and I had a great experience with her. Highly recommend!
