Hello, my name is Kristina Bowes. I’m a certified special education teacher currently serving in a center school classroom for students with severe to profound needs. I have over 10 years of experience supporting children with complex behavioral, sensory, and developmental challenges. My approach is structured, calm, and compassionate. I believe in meeting every child where they are and helping them feel safe, capable, and valued—through predictable routines, gentle redirection, and genuine care. My work is deeply informed by my personal values and a heart for serving others with patience and integrity. This summer, I am seeking part-time childcare or respite work with a local family. I am open to: Providing care in your home (if transportation is arranged), or Drop-off care at my location Due to a medical condition (multiple sclerosis), I do not drive, so I’m looking for families in the Fort Walton Beach area who are nearby Read more or able to provide transportation. I’m comfortable supporting children with higher needs, managing behaviors calmly, and, if applicable, supervising safe water play. If my background and caregiving approach seem like a good fit for your family this summer, I would be honored to speak with you.
