"Karisa has been a fantastic nanny for our baby. She started watching her at 7 months of age and her background and skills gave great peace of mind. Our baby is excited to see her everyday and Karisa keeps us updated on her day and activities with texts, pictures and videos which is so helpful. She is attentive and respectful of our wishes with food and playtime activity, keeps to daily schedules and is flexible in letting our baby have her best day. We have used her for part-time coverage from 1-4 days a week, from a few hours to 14+ and Karisa has always been accommodating and dependable."

Full-Time Child Care Provider Available in Surprise, AZ: Mariana O.
Hi! I was born in Colombia & came to the US when I had just turned two. I’m originally from Stamford, CT. I’ve been there my whole life (22 years)! I moved to AZ with my boyfriend & three dogs just about a year ago.
I really love animals & enjoy my free time outside adventuring with my three dogs. I also like to keep my space tidy & clean when I’m free. One of my hobbies that I picked up that I didn’t know I had during Covid was cooking. I’m always cooking something different & trying new recipe’s. A new hobby I JUST picked up, is baking! I honestly didn’t think I’d be great at it but turns out I bake a great cake. I’m thinking I got these skills from working at my first job ever at a pastry shop for five years!
I have my Associates Degree in Liberal Arts & Sciences. I hope in the near future I’m able to finish my Bachelors if so & when finances permit it. After my five years in customer service, & my work has been with kids. I’ve also volunteered as a mentor & teacher assistant.
