Hello families! Christina here! I'm a doting Auntie to 3: a niece & two nephews (ages 19, 15 & 13). I raised my godson from infancy; he's 28. I'm experienced, responsible, patient and attentive. Most recently, a nanny M-F for a 1-year-old baby girl & her 3 1/2yo sis. Previously: two families; a 6yo boy & his 2yo bro, a 10mo girl and an 18mo boy. Was an elementary school teacher for 11+ years; I'm used to multi-tasking, familiar with various ages (first aid, CPR). Bachelor's in Early Childhood Education and Associate's in Art; being crafty is in my wheelhouse! I own my car, a non-smoker. Anything child related: light tidying/laundry, meal prep/snacks, sleep routine. Engage in storytime, puzzles, board games, LEGOS, being outdoors, screen-free (limited). I believe kids learn in their day-to-day activities; encouraging their imagination is key to a joyful child! Animal lover as well! COVID-19 vaccinated. Local travel. References upon serious inquiries. Thank you for your consideration.

Christina is wonderful!! She came into our lives as we were going through a big move to Whittier last year and we needed full-time care for our two kiddos, ages 3 and 6 years old during the Summer. Christina is patient and engaging with a huge side of FUN!! Our youngest loves being read to and Christina could do that for hours! Haaa!!! Our oldest enjoys the challenge of doing puzzles. Christina has even brought a few to gift the kiddos. She's super thoughtful that way! We adore her and so does our doggy. Both of our kids are in school full time now so we call on Christina for date nights mostly! So grateful for her! She leaves our home better than when she entered it!! 

Let me start by saying, Christina is incredible! She was recommended by a friend we have in common, and, being a new mommy, my husband and I were hesitant to leave our little one with someone who wasn't family. But Christina put our concerns at ease right away. She's since cared for our 6 month old daughter three times for several hours each, always checking in, asks questions to make sure we're on the same page regarding care and well-being of our baby. She's an all around gift to our family. 

I don't know what some of these other parents are talking about in their reviews, but the person they're describing isn't the Christina we've come to know these few months. It isn't okay to vent here when from what I can tell,  you either never met her or were around her 'for a minute'. You're bringing your own insecurities to her door. Don't do that. 

Christina is attentive, patient and full of personality. I truly believe that caring for children is her calling. Did I mention she used to teach littles? She knows how challenging this field can be and she's up for it. Experienced. 

A gift.

Christina is incredible. Our 8 month old daughter's welfare and happiness is her first priority. 

Reading some of these reviews from other parents is awful. They should be ashamed of themselves for attempting to tarnish her abilities as an attentive caregiver and threatening her livelihood. 

Kind and friendly, but not the right fit for our family. She talked mostly about herself/past and didn’t ask important questions about our baby — including his name, feeding routine, nap schedule, or how we prefer to care for him. I had to take the lead on bottles and naps because initiative wasn’t taken. She may be a better match for families who want a VERY conversational nanny rather than someone focused and proactive with infant care.


Christina came into our world through mutual friends. She was, and is, incredible with our daughter who's 6 years old. Always up for dance parties and singing!  Christina is a triple threat:   engaging, patient and FUN!!  We know that when we leave our girl B with Christina, she's in loving hands. We trust her implicitly. 

We had the pleasure of having Christina care for our twins, and we truly could not have asked for a more capable, kind, and reliable caregiver. Handling twins requires patience and a special kind of energy, and she exceeded our expectations in every way. Christina was always punctual, proactive, and incredibly engaged to both children. Whether it was feeding, bathing, or bedtime routines, she kept everything running smoothly and consistently, all while ensuring our twins felt loved and secure. She also maintained clear and open communication with us, which gave us tremendous peace of mind.
We are beyond grateful for the positive impact she had on our family. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, nurturing, and experienced with twins, we wholeheartedly recommend Christina. 

I posted a childcare job with detailed hours, but the system doesn’t allow split shifts. She sent me a message accusing me of being misleading, and referenced reporting me to the site. Her tone was rude and hostile despite my clear explanation. I feel her message was unnecessary and unprofessional. 

We feel incredibly lucky to have had Christina as our nanny for over two years. With two parents working demanding schedules, her flexibility and easy-going nature were invaluable to our family. Christina brought a wonderful balance of reliability and warmth—always on time, dependable, and ready to adapt when plans changed.

We are so grateful for her time with our family and would  recommend her to any family looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and genuinely invested in the well-being of their kids.



Rude and extremely disrespectful. Don’t hire or waste your time. 

Christina is absolutely wonderful. She takes the time to learn about your child/children BEFORE watching them, and even takes time to do a meet and greet and learn the layout of the home, likes and dislikes, and so on. She is also GREAT with dogs (we have a typical chihuahua, and the best boi- a golden retriever),  and always takes the time to show them love as well. She is a calming presence- so if your little cry when mom or dad initially leave you don’t need to worry- she can handle it and handles it perfectly. My two year old - MAMMAS boy only cried for a minute, never more and sometimes less. You’ll receive updates throughout her visit, she responds quickly, and at times, can be ready with only a few hours of notification. We LOVE her and it is SO comforting to know there are still people like her out there that we can trust our children with 💙. 

Christina was punctual, communicated well with us (would leave notes on how the day went, bottles baby drank, nap times, moods, etc), was solution focused, and was very patient with my baby as he became familiarized with her.

In 2019, Christina was a nanny for my children, ages 3 and 1. She worked on an as-needed basis. She demonstrated tremendous responsibility in caring for my children. She loves working with children. She has excellent communication skills and creative ideas for activities. She keeps the children occupied and most importantly, safe. She is trustworthy and always punctual. I highly recommend her.

Christina nannied for our family while my son was 8 months old until he was 1.5 years old (started daycare). She was always dependable, reliable, and very communicative! Super friendly and great with our son, we loved having her and still keep in touch. If you're looking for a sociable and experienced caregiver, Christina is your gal!

Not only is she rude and disrespectful but she had the audacity to give me unsolicited parenting advice to an ad she has no interest in taking. To be honest she sounds like she's trolling the website at this point (based on her previous reviews and how she's already a new member).  I hardly leave reviews, but I'm going to.

Extremely rude & bad attitude. I wouldn't hire her.
