Hi there! I am currently a recent graduate from Towson University, looking for work as a nanny / babysitter. After receiving my degree in Psychology, I found that I was most interested in learning about child development, early education, and family studies in my courses. Caring for families has further sparked my interest in these subjects - I have been babysitting since I was 14 years old, and love doing it as my current job! I have 8+ years of experience caring for over 15 families - this experience includes children of all different ages, from infants to pre-teens. I have volunteered as a helper or "companion" for a disabled child in the past for the Montgomery County Recreational Department. I have experience volunteering at elementary schools, working with children, and have been involved in philanthropic events for Children's Miracle Network Hospital. Also, I have been involved in other volunteer Read more work in nursing homes and fundraisers for children's medical expenses and needs for their families. I am CPR and First AID Certified (including infant, pediatric, and adult) as well.

Kristina is a awesome babysitter who is reliable, trustworthy, and great with kids! We were in a bind a few months ago because our nanny left us unexpectedly. I had about 6 weeks to go before I was going to be out on maternity leave for our second child and we needed someone to work in a part-time nanny capacity until I stopped working. We were fearful that we wouldn’t find anyone who would be reliable and trustworthy since it was a temporary position, but we were SO thankful when we met Kristina! She was amazing and willing to work with our schedules and keep up with my toddler’s routine so that the transition from our old nanny to her wasn’t super difficult for him. She communicated well and always looked for ways to enrich our son’s days— took him for walks, colored/did crafts, etc. She never relied on TV or an iPad to entertain him and she kept with his routine as much as possible. You can absolutely trust her with your kids and we can’t recommend her enough!
