My name is Karista Yarger. My husband and I recently moved to Washington from San Diego, CA. I have been passionate about working with kids for as long as I can remember. It brings me great joy to see each child flourish in their development. For the past 10 years I have worked at a small private school, and for the last 3 years, I was the 1st and 2nd grade Teacher. I find such joy working alongside kids. I've been babysitting for 15 years, during which time I co-owned a daycare with my mother. To this day I still have great relationships with each of the families.

Karista was amazing to work with! We were in a panic to find a sitter on short notice. I'd never used the site before, but we were able to touch base quickly and easily. She was willing to drive a little further than expected to us, and she did a wonderful job with our infant daughter. We look forward to having her join us again!
