Hello! Thanks for stopping by my profile. First, let me start by introducing myself. My name is Marisa, I am 30 years old. I would describe myself as compassionate, caring, and an eccentric individual with a strong work ethic and love for all people.

I have babysat newborns up to the oldest being 13 at the time. I am looking to be employed by a family that would preferably need me on a consistent basis.

I began watching children at a young age by being a big sister, caring for family members, and eventually family friends children as well. At 18 years old I began my professional career as a nanny. I have a background in early childhood education, and have also gone to school briefly for psychology. I have background nannying in a Montessori household, as well as other households with different beliefs. My extensive childcare experiences, as well as educational background, I can successfully take care of your children and manage a household. As a productive and vibrant person, I have worked with many young children and enjoyed engaging them in imaginative, and outdoor activities. I have a history of arranging fun engaging activities, and overseeing the children's development. Additionally, I am able to provide care throughout the day including educational play, meal preparation, light housekeeping duties, trips to the park or library, and other activities that may encourage development. I am comfortable playing with the children, reading books, and having primary focus on them. I am a non-smoker, physically fit, I am a very hard worker, and am able to maintain confidentiality. My employers would note me as a calm, resourceful, and impactful nanny who is able to take charge and make decisions based on the guidelines of parents. My childcare skills, with my upbeat attitude and friendly nature, will help me succeed in any nanny role. I would love the opportunity to work with you and your family. Thanks so much for your time. -Alyssa

Before I trained to become a Waldorf kindergarten teacher, I was the sitter for 2 children, Lukas and Hannah, 10 mos. and 4 yrs. old respectively. I also was the caregiver to 2 wonderful little girls, age 21/2 and 5. I absolutely loved it! Once I had my own son,, I received my Children's CPR certificate,.I went to school to be a Waldorf teacher, and interned at the Great Barrington Rudolf Steiner school, and then hired to become an assistant, under the tutelage of Michele Kuzia. What a beautiful form of education. I then worked in the hotel field for several years. I've now circled back to my love of children. My most recent experience has been caring for my nieces and nephews ( 5 months, 3 yrs old, 5 yrs old) I'm looking into getting a certification as an infant care specialist, and also creating movement classes for small children. Working with children is truly a joy for me.
