About Kalissa

Hi! I've been working in childcare for almost 4 years, including as a UPK teacher, and I genuinely love what I do. I love helping kids learn, watching them grow, and making a positive impact on their lives. I'm fun and easygoing, and I love being silly with kids, but I also know when to be serious and set boundaries. I enjoy making learning fun and creating an environment where kids feel safe, comfortable, and free to be themselves. I come from a mostly Deaf family, so ASL was my first language. I'm fluent in both ASL and English and would love to use ASL with children and families who sign! I'm CPR certified and happy to help with carpooling and light housekeeping. I always do my best to follow each family's routines and preferences because I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your kids!
