Meet Cristal

I am a preschool special education teacher in an inclusive/blended classroom. I graduated in 2017 from Loyola University Chicago with a major in early childhood special education (birth - 3rd grade). I have implemented units/lessons, created classroom schedules, promoted a positive environment, and managed behavior in toddler, PreK, and 1st grade settings. I've had experience working with special needs students in the form of facilitating special needs play groups at Misericordia, and implementing accommodations and modifications to help young children meet their academic, and social-emotional learning goals (IEP goals). In addition to my school experience, I have been a sitter for about 6 years. In these 6 years I have worked with children between the ages of 18 months to 11 years old. I love my job and I love kids! That is why I plan to babysit this summer until the next academic school year.

Cristal is kind, loving, dependable, responsible, creative and patient. My daughter is crazy about her. They play games do art projects, dance, re and laugh a lot. She has been such a wonderful part of our family and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter. We would have kept working together except that her schedule and my child's no longer matched up. If you get a chance to hire Cristal you won't be disappointed. Betsy, mom to a 6 year old daughter.

Cristal has been babysitting my two girls (9&5) 2-3 times per week for the last two months. She is responsible for day to day activities during the summer including meal preparation and transportation to and from activities. She is responsible, dependable, and most importantly, my girls love her. I never worry while I'm at work because I know they are safe and happy with Cristal. I hope Cristal will continue to babysit for us for a long time.

Cristal is great! She transported our kids home after school and then cared for them until we came home from work. She is very reliable and flexible. We also had other random times we needed her help and she would help out even with little to no warning. Our kids love playing with Cristal and had a blast with her. They still talk about her all the time! We continue to use her to provide date night care as she moved too far to do afterschool care. No reservations about recommending Cristal!
