Hello, my name is Cristina. I have always had a passion for kids and their development. I strongly believe in gentle parenting and the Montessori method, encouraging children to spend their time away from screens and instead engage in activities that promote growth and learning. My educational background includes university courses in education and experience in student teaching in a classroom setting. Additionally, I have worked as a summer camp counselor for two summers, forming close bonds with my campers who often expressed sadness at not seeing me until the next summer. I even received handmade letters and drawings from them. I am available for date nights and weekends. Above all, I prioritize communication with parents to ensure they feel comfortable leaving their children under my care.
Trust & safety
We encourage parents to conduct their own screenings using the background check tools. See what each of the badges covered, or learn more about keeping your family safe by visiting the Trust & Safety Center.
