Hi! My name is Kirsten and I am a very outgoing, creative, and spontaneous transplant originally from Savannah, GA. If you are also passionate about the environment and being kind to the earth, love animals and children, and are open-minded to alternative lifestyles (such as going off the grid or simply living as organically as possible while maintaining a modern career), then we will get along splendidly. I have 10+ years of experience with childcare, both in private homes and with educational organizations. I would love to send you my resume so please feel free to request it! I have been a part time nanny, science instructor, camp counselor, and birthday party coordinator to name a few. I am open to different disciplinary strategies, such as rewards coupled with time out from reinforcers, but I am also trained in emotional intelligence, in which neither rewards nor punishments are used and Read more children are allowed to experience life with less judgment. I always encourage healthy eating, being active in many ways, and appreciating the outdoors by walking, playing sports outside, or simply discovering new plants and animals through careful observation. One of my favorite past times is visiting museums and galleries of any kind, and I love sharing this passion with kids. I have cared for children of all ages, though most of my experience is with children ages 2 and older. If you'd like to learn more about me, I'd love for you to meet me in person. It is very important to me that you not only feel that I am a safe, careful, and loving caregiver but also that I am a near-perfect fit for you and your family. My rates are negotiable; I am accustomed to the typical hourly rate of $10/hr for one child, increasing the hourly rate as the number of children increases. Please feel free to ask me any questions you like, and, again, please request my resume. Thank you for checking out my profile and have a wonderful da
