About Kristen

Experience: 2 yrs

As a nurturing caregiver, I'm driven by a passion for children's growth and a desire to positively impact kids. My experience as a single mom has shown me the importance of a trusted, responsible caregiver for your children. I have experience caring for children ages 0-12+ for clients as well as for my own child (13). She's a well adjusted, A student with a good moral compass. I like to think my guidance her mom has influenced the amazing kid she is. I'm comfortable caring for 1 or 2 children at a time. I bring a patient, calm, creative, friendly attitude to my work. I enjoy board games, puzzles, and educational games with children. I love spending time outdoors, exploring nature, parks, and libraries. I provide updates via text or phone call. I also provide written communications. I follow the parents' preferred methods. I follow the parents' lead when it comes to enforcing rules. I have some college, and certifications in CPR and First Aid. I have a car and am comfortable with pets.

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Kristen. She has helped me take care of my son and daughter since they were born and they are now in school. With both my children, she was always warm and attentive to their needs and moods. She knows how to have fun with children and also how to be firm and teach boundaries. She, having raised a daughter herself, has the instincts and experience of a mom, which I value very much. She was always thoughtful to follow my instructions when I wanted things done a certain way and always tried to do more than necessary, to go above and beyond, keeping things clean and tidy at home, and remembering the food and games that my children prefer. She’s very conscious of safety and protective of the kids. She’s bright and resourceful and finds ways to inspire and stimulate the kids with different activities. She has a passion for music and an encyclopedic knowledge of music from many genres and she tries to share this love of music with my children. We don’t see her as often, now that they are school-aged, but they still ask about her and she will watch them every so often when I need her to. I trust her to drive the kids to activities- for music class or library storytime and for visiting playgrounds. She’s also a great communicator. I highly recommend her as a caregiver and babysitter for infants and children of any age.
