Meet Kristen
- Comfortable with pets
I am a recent graduate of Columbia College with a degree Art & Design. I live in Lakeview and am very close to public transportation. I have been nannying and babysitting for about five years now. I have most recently worked for a family caring for their daughter from since she was 2.5 years old (almost 6 yrs old now) and their new born boy (now 3 yrs old). I have been with them for about three years. I have had more experience with younger children, but would be fine working with older children as well. I am very comfortable around dogs and cats. My philosophy with taking care of kids is to let them know who's in charge without giving up with element of comfort and fun. I love going on walks and going to the park with the kids. I also love doing art projects, reading books, and Read more playing games. I am very organized, on time, and have a great driving record if the job requires transport. I have no problem running errands and doing light housework (laundry, dishes, etc.)
