A little bit about me

Hi My name is Clarissa Cruz, and something about me is I am a responsible and caring 16-year-old high school student with extensive experience caring for children. Having helped raise and care for my younger siblings from a young age, I’ve developed a strong ability to connect with kids and handle a wide range of childcare responsibilities with confidence and care. I genuinely enjoy spending time with children—playing games, helping with homework, and keeping them engaged in safe, fun activities. I value the hands-on experience I’ve gained and continuously strive to provide a nurturing and supportive environment for every child I care for. I’m highly dependable, flexible with scheduling, and committed to helping parents enjoy peace of mind—whether it's for a planned evening out or a last-minute need. Your child’s safety and happiness are always my top priorities.

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

I also have experience working with children through my school, where I assist students with special needs and visual impairments. This role has taught me how to adapt to different communication styles, provide calm and consistent support, and create a safe, inclusive environment for every child. Whether it's helping them navigate the classroom, guiding them through sensory-friendly activities, or simply being a steady presence, I always ensure each child feels safe, supported, and valued in my care.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Include reading storybooks, playing interactive games, doing arts and crafts, helping with homework, and spending time outdoors. I always aim to keep activities fun, engaging, and suited to each child’s age and interests.

The most important part about being a nanny...

To me, the most important part of being a nanny is creating a safe, loving, and fun environment where children feel comfortable, supported, and free to be themselves. It’s all about building trust, making meaningful connections, and turning everyday moments into happy memories.

My experience with special needs children...

Comes from working at my school, where I assist students with various needs, including visual impairments. I’ve learned how to be patient, attentive, and adaptable—always making sure each child feels safe, supported, and included in every activity.

The most important part about being a nanny...

One of my favorite moments as a babysitter is preparing meals for my siblings or the children I’m caring for, especially when I get to make the food cute and creative! I love turning mealtime into a fun, shared experience where we all sit together, laugh, and enjoy each other’s company.
