Weekly Craft
Wonder For 
Every Imagination.

Marissa's life work has been centered around one core mission: creating safe, engaging, and structured environments where children can thrive. With a degree in Psychology specializing in early childhood development, her two decades of experience with children is as diverse as it is hands-on.
 

Marissa served as the Academy Director at Kamera Talent (children's division of Sutherland Models Toronto), interviewing aspiring young performers and managing a team of acting instructors, photographers, and makeup artists. She also spent 8 years as a professional nanny with Nannies on Call - a Toronto agency known for accepting only 10% of applicants - while simultaneously teaching English remotely to children in China as a certified ESL instructor.

Her last role in her home province of New Brunswick was as a Human Services Counselor, supporting children and youth with complex developmental, behavioural, and emotional needs, including Autism and Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder.
 

Once in the GTA, Marissa worked as a 911 Emergency Dispatcher for the Toronto Police Service, passing an extensive security screening process required of all dispatchers. She then spent 7 years climbing the ranks at a startup that grew into a multi-million dollar business, ultimately becoming Head of the company's Training Department after three promotions.
 

This rare blend of hands-on child development experience and proven operational leadership is what Marissa brings to The Craft Club - and precisely why every session is designed to be safe, structured, and genuinely fun for your child.
