Meet Karissa

Hello! My name is Karissa. I recently completed my Master’s degree in Cancer Sciences and conducted research at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center. Prior to that, I earned my Bachelor of Science in Biology from Adelphi University. I’ve been babysitting for over seven years and truly enjoy spending time with children and pets. My long-term goal is to become a pediatric dentist, and I’ve always loved creating fun, engaging environments for the kids I care for. I’ve regularly babysat for several families and am comfortable handling bedtime routines, homework help, and coming up with fun activities like arts and crafts. I also have two dogs of my own, so I’m happy to care for pets as well! I have my own vehicle and a clean driving record, with experience driving children to and from various activities—so transportation is never an issue. A few fun facts about me: In my free Read more time, I enjoy going to the gym, shopping, and reading. I’m also working toward learning a new language by the end of the year!

Karissa stayed with our two kids, 6 & 3 years old, while we attended dinner and a concert. She took them to our playground, fed them dinner, and got them ready and down for bed. Her text communication is great, she is very sweet and kind. The kids LOVED her and woke up the next morning asking when she could come back. :)
