About Krista

Experience: 15 yrs

Hi! I'm Krista! I'm a caring, energetic nanny with 15 years of experience working with children of all ages. I started out babysitting and nannying, which led me to earn my Bachelor's degree in Human Development and Family Science. I've worked as a lead teacher in a daycare, caring for children from 6 weeks to 6 years old, and I also have experience with elementary through high school-aged kids. I'm also a parent myself-I have a wife and an 18-month-old daughter, which gives me a real-life appreciation for patience, flexibility, and nurturing care. I love creating a safe, inclusive, and fun environment where children feel supported, encouraged, and excited to learn.

We highly recommend this caregiver for any childcare or teaching position. She cared for our two daughters from January 2022 to March 2024, starting when they were 3 and 7, and quickly became a trusted and beloved part of our family. She is warm, patient, dependable, and has a natural ability to connect with children at different ages. She created a nurturing environment that balanced play and learning, supported schoolwork, planned creative activities, and handled daily routines with kindness and consistency. She communicated well with us as parents and always showed professionalism and genuine care for our children’s well-being. She would be a wonderful asset to any childcare or early education setting.
