Carissa Neff

I love helping shape the minds of children. I love when I see children take what I taught them and use it again in their own time.

Tell us why you became a teacher

I have always wanted to be a teacher since I was little. When I had my daughter, I went into daycare so I could work and have her with me. Now I’m in VPK and I couldn’t be happier teaching my students.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

I had one child who struggled with their writing. They had a hard time tracing letters and forming the letters on their own. One day we did tracing practice and they did it all by themselves! My teacher heart was so happy!

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would use it to fix mine and my finances cars as well as get us out of debt. We also want to buy a house with our baby on the way.
