I'm 60 years young and have a flexible schedule. I worked as a clinical medical assistant for 15 years in an Ob/Gyn office in San Diego and provided full patient care. I am a nurturer by nature and am now working in childcare. Years ago, I studied child development while raising my two children to enhance my own parenting skills. I believe in giving positive attention, guidance and playful interaction. I appreciate how important it is for a mother to feel confident about leaving her children in safe, capable hands. I am mature, responsible and fun loving.
*I am now narrowing care to newborns and infants up until approx 1 yr of age.

Christina is a reliable and safety focused caregiver.  She connected beautifully with my two daughters(2 yo and infant).  During the time she was our nanny she didn't just watch the girls, she worked with me to develop great routines for our family and always had our home feeling tidy and welcoming at the end of the day.  She is a genuinely caring person and you couldn't leave your kiddos in better hands.  

During my maternity leave, Christina was an invaluable source of support and care for both me and my newborn. Her kindness and compassion shone through in every aspect of her work. With a strong medical background, Christina brought not just care, but a depth of knowledge and expertise that was incredibly reassuring during this special but challenging time. She handled our baby with such gentleness and professionalism, clearly drawing from a wealth of experience. Christina’s presence was a calming influence in our home, providing me with the confidence and peace of mind I needed as a new mother. I wholeheartedly recommend Christina to any family in need of a caring, knowledgeable, and exceptional nanny.

As someone who runs a business, I really value someone who’s professional, reliable, fun to interact with, and that’s exactly what we got with Christina. She has a very impressive background that really showed in her care for our newborn. She was always gentle but knew what she was doing, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. More than just looking after our baby, Christina was there for our whole family, helping us through this big change. Her being part of our family’s journey was a big plus for us. I’d definitely recommend Christina to any family looking for a great nanny.

Her profile and experience is questionable. One of the serious concerns I had was her trying to challenge my decisions and care taking approaches for my son. A nanny is supposed to be an extension of the parents not the parents conforming to the nanny. She hadn't even started working for a month and was already asking for time off. When issues came up she would text me rather than give me a call or address in person. She didn't fulfill her contractual agreement of giving a 2 week notice and abandoned her obligations which has now put me in a situation to scramble and find care for my son. Overall unprofessional she is NOT dependable and I would NOT rehire.

Christina became apart of our family as soon as she started with us. We were blessed to have her care for him from 3 months old to 2.5 years! She always went above and beyond, helping sleep train, making healthy homemade meals, helping tidy the house and caring for our entire family! Christina is very knowledgeable about infant growth and development and even took it upon herself to read on any areas she wasn’t (like toddler growth and development) to help my son grow. She took a tremendous amount of stress off of me as a new mom! We miss her so much. Her next family will be blessed to have her!

Christina was a blessing to us as first time parents. It's obvious that she is knowledgeable at what she does and put any concerns at ease of leaving our home, child, and dog under the supervision of someone outside our family. She started with us when our son was 3 months old and he is already turning 1 this month. Our son had severe skin issues and reflux, and she was more than capable to handle the challenges. She never arrived late, and never had to leave earlier than scheduled. We loved that she was innovative about coming up with new ways to play and interact with our son and has even supervised him at the pool.  She was great about tidying up our counters, and she would even take on other tasks to help us even without being asked! We never came home to a mess, it was actually always cleaner than when we left it. We cloth diaper a majority of the time and she was very receptive to learning.
Anyone would be grateful to have her as a caregiver for their child-100% would recommend.

Christina has been our weekly nanny for two months now. It has been a true blessing to find her. She is nurturing to my 3 mos old daughter and my toddler son likes her too. Christina keeps busy when the baby is napping by emptying trash, folding clothes, washing dishes/bottles and tidying up the children's rooms. I'm choosy and I really can't ask more of her.

Christina has become apart of our family! She started caring for our son when he was 4 months and cared for him until he was 13 months. She is truly the only person we know, love, and trust to care for him. She is loving, caring, and so great with him. She often took him on outings, walks, play time at the park, did water play, read to him, sang with him, etc. He loves her and just lights up every time he sees her! She is also great around the house. She loves laundry (extra bonus) and would always tend to our dirty dishes. Coming home to a clean house after a long day at work is the best! I highly recommend Christina to watch your kiddos!

Cristina is such a delight. She treats my daughter as if she was her own.  My daughter is always happy to see her every time she comes.  Always punctual, very understanding and flexible, writes a diary of all feedings, diaper change,  activities,  etc., a laundry wizard and diligently keeps her on a schedule. She has definitely been such a blessing to my daughter and I trust her completely. 

It is with great pleasure that I recommend Christina as a babysitter/nanny. We were so blessed to have her take care of my infant daughter. She always came to our home on time and cheery. She also made sure that our dog got lots of love. Our family was so spoiled to have Christina! She is warm, kind, experienced and trustworthy. You'll know what I mean when you meet her! We love Christina!

Christina watches my infant and toddler 2 days per week and is great! My kids love her and she is always looking for ways to make my busy life easier by helping around the house.

I know Christina to be a very reliable, smart, fun-loving person who is a natural caretaker for children. I have seen her teach and nurture children since I met her in 5th grade, when we had our first babysitting jobs caring for siblings and neighborhood kids. Now, she has years of experience and knowledge gained from working in the ob/GYN field as well as raising her own children. Christina has the wisdom, the character and the personality to provide a safe yet entertaining environment where children will learn and thrive.
