Sitter, Parent, Teacher, Infant Care (night nanny - my home), Tutor, Homeschool Vendor, Piano Lessons I've worked with children since I was 12 years old - created a babysitting club. I had the opportunity to travel w/ families, work on a house-boat, babysit for a family that had a wilderness retreat business, provided live-in nanny care for a military family, performed as a night nanny, babysat for celebrities and most recently tutored and homeschooled twins. Fun Fact: when I was a teen - Joe Namoth was at the airport in PA, and ask me to watch his toddler while he went to buy some food and a magazine. I couldn't remember his name until I returned to Los Angeles. Raised my son, who is now 24 years old and he is the most amazing young man. I served as a public school teacher for 10 years and then created my Read more own tutoring service - Beyond Tutoring. I love working with children and having fun at their level; a reminder of what's right with the world. Also, helping parents so they can take a deep breath and relax is my ultimate calling. I've been called a third parent, an angel, and Mary Poppins; been asked by parents - if they can adopt me. I love what I do and it shows! Note: * Please ask for the link to my teaching credentials. *References gladly offered *You're Welcome to - Review my portfolio * I have a minimum 5 hr. fee for services - even if hours are less. (I have to make a living too!) no split jobs please Tutoring or Piano Lessons available -seperate from babysitting. No double families - unless I know both families in advance and it's been discussed in advance - my rates double. 24 hr. cancellation please

We used Cristie for a last-minute babysitting need. She's very friendly and was quick in her communications to set up a date. We hope to use her again soon!

Cristie tutored my kids and did a great job. She was very creative coming up with fun elaborate ways to teach and was very enthusiastic. She was never late and worked well with scheduling changes. My kids are very fond of Cristie and always looked forward working with her.
