Hi, I'm Cristy. Working with children is something I truly enjoy. I love building a connection with the kids I care for, watching them grow, and becoming someone both the children and their parents can trust and rely on. I have over 10 years of childcare experience with children of all ages, from newborns and infants to toddlers, school-aged kids, and pre-teens. I also have experience caring for multiple children at once. I'm calm, patient, caring, and dependable. I love getting kids outside, going to parks and exploring, doing arts and crafts, reading, playing games, working on puzzles, etc. I believe communication with parents is really important, and I like working together as a team so everyone feels comfortable and on the same page. I'm CPR and First Aid certified, have a clean driving record, and have great references. Most importantly, I want kids to feel safe, happy, and cared for, and parents to feel confident knowing their children are with someone they can trust.
We were incredibly lucky to have Cris as our nanny for nearly two years, caring for our daughter from the time she was 4 months old until she was 2. She provided a caring, safe, fun, and stimulating environment and always showed up with a positive attitude and genuine affection for our daughter. Cris was also a wonderful partner to us as parents—thoughtful and proactive about suggesting ideas to support our daughter’s development, while always respecting our preferences and following our lead. We trusted her completely and always knew our daughter was in loving and capable hands. Over time, Cris became a close friend and truly felt like part of our family. The only reason our partnership ended was because she relocated out of state; otherwise, we would have happily continued working with her for much longer. We’ve remained close friends and feel so fortunate that she was such an important part of our daughter’s early years. We can’t recommend her highly enough!
