My name is Kristi, I am 51 yrs old, and I have been a professional nanny for over 31 years. I do not do this as a step to another career…this is the path that I have chosen to continue for as long as I can! THIS “IS” MY CAREER. I love children with all my heart, and genuinely feel that I have a special connection with all ages. As well as this being my profession…I am also the mother of a 14 year old daughter. She is the light of my life! She has allowed me to see ALL aspects of both, raising a child, AND being a parent. I have learned more about challenges that may arise with children, and creative ways of dealing with those.  I have cared for children from Newborn – 15 years old, and have also been a nanny for twins. The majority of Read more the nanny positions that I have held, involved caring for newborns and toddlers. I consider myself to be a very compassionate, creative, nurturing and loving person! I am patient and calm in all situations, and use Redirection, communication, and Time Out as my forms of discipline. I can honestly say that I have rarely had to use time out which I can contribute this to having the ability to keep children entertained and busy with the things they love to do. I am open to following any guidelines that have already been set by the parents. I believe in a good amount of structure for a child, so am capable of planning activities and fun things to do. I am very creative and crafty…so I go much further than just coloring when it comes to crafts. You will often see homemade decorations for every holiday of the year, cardboard houses/castles/rocket ships, painted ceramics, outside spray bottle paintings, funny homemade puppets, and the list goes on and on. I believe that Imagination is the key to play and creativity! I love to teach and do it in creative fun ways.

Trust & safety
