About Christine

Experience: 6 yrs

Nurturing a child's curiosity and watching them reach new milestones is my greatest passion. As a veteran K-12 home educator, I bring a patient, creative approach to childcare. I have recently moved into the area and looking for a new family to assist. I have enjoyed six years with a family of three, one year for a family of two and a short-term assignment with one. I have cared for infants to pre-teens. Whether we are solving puzzles, playing educational games, or crafting, I focus on fostering growth through consistent, predictable routines. I am happy to assist with meal preparation, light housekeeping. I prioritize clear communication, providing updates through your preferred method and sharing photos of our daily adventures. I truly look forward to becoming a supportive, positive influence in your family's life.

We have had the privilege of having Christine care for our toddler son for over a year, and we truly cannot speak highly enough of her. She has been an incredible presence in our child’s life and an invaluable part of our family. She is exceptionally patient, calm, and easygoing, creating a warm and nurturing environment where our son feels safe, happy, and loved. Her attention to detail is remarkable, and she consistently goes above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of his care is handled thoughtfully and responsibly. What sets her apart most is her genuine passion for working with children. She is not only a caregiver but also a wonderful teacher who is deeply invested in our son’s growth and development. She is constantly creating engaging, creative, and educational activities that make learning fun and encourage curiosity and imagination. Her flexibility and dedication have also meant so much to our family. She has always been willing to help with extra tasks or stay late when needed, approaching everything with professionalism and a positive attitude. Most importantly, it is clear that she truly loves and cares for our son as if he were her own. The bond they share is incredibly special, and we have complete trust and confidence in her. Any family would be fortunate to have her as part of their lives, and we recommend her wholeheartedly.
