Hello! I just moved to Towson, MD from Ann Arbor, MI. I am a certified K-8 elementary educator and taught in Michigan for the past 9 years (3 years in second grade and 6 years in Kindergarten). I babysat for various families for the past 18 years: including date nights, overnights and summer nanny positions. Prior to becoming an elementary school teacher, I worked at a childcare center for 4 years. I have experience with children aged newborn through elementary school. Looking forward to hearing from you! :)

We hired Marissa back in 2021 when our first child was born. Initially, it was for a part-time nanny hire (we only needed her for 2-3 days/week). When we first spoke, she felt like someone we had known for a long time. Very personable, warm and honest. During her time with us, she has always been very dependable, always on time (if there ever was a delay, which was rare, she would notify me right away), and has been excellent with our 2 kids and 2 dogs. After we no longer needed a part-time nanny, she became our go-to babysitter. Marissa is excellent with handling tough situations (one child melting down, making sure the other is in a safe, contained space, etc). She makes our children feel safe and genuinely cared for. When it comes to disciplining a child, she was on the same page with us - stern but not harsh, no "punishments," connect/validate/teach, etc. We always have felt very safe and secure with our household in her hands. Marissa is sorely missed but she comes with the highest recommendations from all of us!
