A little bit about me

My name is Carissa. I am a local of Greenville, SC, and am looking for a position as a nanny while on the road to becoming a professional photographer.

While I am at work, I am an organized, neat, and creative person. I can help out around the house and I can cook family meals when recipes are provided.

I work with young children on learning their skills hands on through active play and outings. I can provide kindergarten instruction and absolutely LOVE to read to toddlers. Some of my favorite kids books are The Pout Pout Fish, and Dr. Suess.

With older kids, I teach social emotional learning, responsibility through chores, and conflict resolution between siblings.
I aim to be a calm, creative, knowledgeable, and kind individual to be with a child whenever their parents aren’t there for them.

More About Me

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

I've worked in children's care in private as a nanny, a baby sitter, and in church nursery. Many of the children I have worked with still invite me to their birthday parties every year and I happily attend.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I love kids, so doing anything with them is a pleasure, but I am an artist so working with little ones in anything art related is truly my happiest place! When it comes to sidewalk chalk, coloring books, or creative play...I will be right in my comfort zone. I also love singing and work in photography.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Being a comforting, good example in the absence of a parent.
Showing, teaching, and providing healthy emotional feedback.
Answering questions in a kid-friendly, positive way.
Creating a caring, creative environment where both kids and grownups feel empowered to learn and thrive.

My experience with special needs children...

I have experience caring for children on the autism spectrum. Kids who need their sensory needs to be tuned into, their meltdowns and shutdowns both monitored, guided, and lovingly coached.

The most important part about being a nanny...

My favorite moment with a kid is always the one where they hug you when you're having a rough day. Children are little mirrors and often reflect what you show them.
They need feedback from their caretakers and to help them form good connections to the world around them. Every single child is unique and has their own form of communication. Learning it is always the first step to bonding.
