Marissa - Foster parent, teacher, and trauma-informed advocate

Hi, I'm Marissa.

I'm a foster parent, teacher, and trauma-informed advocate helping families navigate the reality of foster care.

After experiencing the chaos of emergency placements, caseworker calls, and midnight Walmart runs, I started creating tools that make foster parenting easier.

Now I share those resources with other foster parents.

What drives this work

💚

Lived Experience

Every tool is built from real foster parenting challenges, not theory.

🧠

Trauma-Informed

All resources are grounded in understanding childhood trauma and healing.

🤝

Community First

Created for foster parents, by foster parents who truly get it.
