Hello families :) I'm mainly on another website full time babysitting/nannying. I have a vehicle to come to you, but please note it doesn't have backseats, so I don't transport children. My name is Kristen, and I'm eager to offer my support and care for your children. Babysitting allows me to support families and gain valuable experience with a wide variety of children, which I find incredibly rewarding. With a diverse background spanning various roles, I bring a wealth of experience and a genuine passion for nurturing young minds. My journey began at a nonprofit group home for teenage girls in foster care, where I played a pivotal role in their growth and household management. Transitioning to clinics as a registered behavior technician, I worked with young children on the autism spectrum. (I now emphasize the importance of ethical, progressive, and non compliance based support.) Additionally, I served as an Read more ability-inclusive summer camp coordinator, facilitating enriching experiences for children with disabilities. This role allowed me to create a supportive and inclusive environment for children of all abilities. I further honed my skills by running a household at a nonprofit for adults with special needs, gaining insights into the intersection of mental health and disabilities. I led and grew a special needs kids ministry, where we prioritized individualized approaches and fostered an inclusive environment. Please note I respect all families different belief systems and you are always welcome to inquire about any of my work experience when we match for a sit. My expertise extends to children and adults with special needs, disabilities, and neurodiversities across a wide age range, with a primary focus on ages 2-16. In challenging and high-intensity situations, I maintain composure and ensure the safety and well-being of those under my care. I enjoy assisting with homework, implementing creative lesson plans, engaging in enriching activities and providing light cooking and housekeeping support. Academically, I hold an Associates degree in Psychology and a Bachelors degree in Integrated Studies in Psychology and Theology, reflecting my commitment to understanding and supporting individuals on a holistic level. Outside of caregiving, I live at home with my two beloved cats. I enjoy nature and am experimenting with a carnivore diet. I am genuinely excited about the opportunity to meet your family and offer care to your child.

Hire her! Through the process of interviewing, hiring and then babysitting, Kristen was very responsive and prepared. She provided documentation and met in-person for an interview promptly and made the process so simplistic for hiring. She is a kind and genuine person and showed up with the intent to genuinely enjoy the company of our daughter. I will absolutely be hiring her in the future.
