About Carissa
Experience: 5 yrs
Hi, my name is Carissa and I love to be around kids. I have seven nieces and nephews I helped take care of and watch when I used to live in Fresno and was the go to babysitter for family friends and neighbors when I was growing up. I have 7 years of experience and I can help with Travel and Carpooling. I've been a professional cook for over 8 years, so cooking for kids is no problem. I love to dance, do arts and crafts, and be outside whenever I can. I know schooling is also important, so I'm able to help with homework and schoolwork if need be. I'd love to be the person you can count on for taking care of the ones you love.
Most recent review
Carissa has been an outstanding babysitter for both our kids for several years now -- including picking them up from school and preparing meals. She has a wonderful way with children and a warm, caring disposition -- yet is able to maintain discipline with even our (sometimes demanding/high energy) children. She clearly loves interacting with kids. Our kids love her too -- they sometimes ask to see Carissa even when we don't need babysitting. My only reservation about giving this honest review is that I hope she'll still have time to babysit for us when we need it!
