Hi, my name is Marissa, and I would love to tell you a little about myself. I am a huge animal lover, I love reading, swimming, and spending time with my family. I have been taking care of children since I was 16 years old. Some of the positions I've had were being a babysitter, a nanny, a mother's helper, and a daycare assistant. I am currently working on getting my Associate's Degree in Early Childhood Education. I have also taken many classes on how I can improve the care and well being of the children I take care of. I have experience taking care of children between the ages of 3 weeks old to 14-year-olds. I love coming up with fun arts and crafts projects that encourage creativity, going on fun and educational outings like going to the library, the museum, the beach, the zoo, going to events geared towards children, and many more places. I also enjoy coming up with fun activities to do: doing science experiments, baking, exploring the outdoors, going on walks, and reading
