Hello! Over the past several years I have worked as a full-time nanny working mainly with children under two. I've worked many occasional jobs with children from 0-15. For the past two years, I have worked as a Professional Foster Parent. In this position, I cared for children 1-15 and managed the household. I am college educated and I'm trained in CPR and First Aid. I'm energetic and resourceful and I hope to be a great addition to your family team. I am looking for occasional positions, currently. I believe in naturalistic play and I will help to raise your child just as I have raised my own. Reading, singing, outings to parks and museums are among the many activities I enjoy doing with children. I look forward to working with your family! Best, Kristen

Kristen has nannied for my daughter and another little boy for a year now and we are so sad to let her go. My little one will be starting 18 month pre-school this fall and will come prepared with skills that she has helped teach them! Leaving your little one a daily basis is never an easy task but it made it so much easier to leave her with Kristen as the babies LOVE her and always greet her with a hug and cried when its time to leave! I'm happy to talk to anyone and give my recommendation verbally as well!

Kristin does a great job with kids. She watched our 6-month-old daughter once / week. She was always on time, in a good mood and willing to do a little housework while our daughter was sleeping. I highly recommend her! We were sad to lose her to a full-time nanny position.

Kristen has been our nanny for the last 10 month’s, taking care of our now 2 year old son 3 ½ days a week. We have been thrilled with the experience and consider Kristen to be caring, thoughtful, independent and very responsible. She worked with our son on developmental milestones, language, behaviors, etc. For us, there are two important things in looking for a nanny. First, that she takes excellent care of our son and treats him in a loving manner. Two, she is reliable, consistent and independent. Kristen has been both of those things from day one and we would recommend her to any other families looking for a nanny.
