Hi, I’m Kristen! I’m a compassionate, dependable nanny with over five years of full-time nannying experience and a genuine love for helping children learn, grow, and discover the world around them. I have experience caring for children of all ages, from newborns through the teenage years, but I especially enjoy working with infants, toddlers, and preschoolers. I love supporting children through these early developmental stages, encouraging their growing independence, and creating opportunities for learning through play and everyday experiences. My approach to childcare is patient, nurturing, and attentive to each child’s individual needs. I also have experience supporting children with diverse developmental needs, including autism and cerebral palsy, and understand the importance of adapting my approach to help each child feel supported and understood. Over the years, I’ve supported families in many ways beyond daily childcare, including developmental activities, tutoring, school pickups, appointments, and family travel. I’m also happy to Read more help with light household tasks related to the children. I’m comfortable around pets and have two Cavalier pups of my own! I’m currently pursuing an online degree in Psychology through Arizona State University, which complements my interest in children’s development and the ways they grow emotionally, socially, and cognitively. I value building trusting relationships with both children and their families, and I take pride in being someone families can rely on. I’m looking for a family where I can build a strong connection, provide consistent, thoughtful care, and become a trusted part of their everyday lives. I’d love to connect and learn more about your family!
