About Karissa

Experience: 7 yrs

Hi! I'm Karissa, a junior at SHU. I've been babysitting since I was 13, so between my 6-month-old niece and all the families I've worked for since then, I have plenty of experience working with children of all ages. Besides working towards my degree in international relations, I coach debate for a local school in Morristown. This means that I have passed all the necessary training required to work at a school in the state of NJ. I look forward to creating fun and educational memories with all the children under my care!

We have known Karissa for many years, and from the very beginning, she has been reliable, kind, and always engaged with our kids. Karissa was always eager to help with homework, dinner and was able to get everyone settled for bedtime She handled everything with patience and maturity. While our kids our now grown, Karissa remains a mentor in their lives. If you are looking for someone who is mature, responsible and caring, she is your girl!
