Meet Kristen
- Comfortable with pets
- Has a car
am a professional full time nanny with over twenty years of experience caring for children from newborn through school age, with extensive hands on experience supporting young infants. I am confident with feeding routines, safe sleep practices, soothing techniques, and early developmental care, and I understand how important consistency and trust are during the newborn stage. In addition to childcare, I bring strong house manager and family assistant experience and am used to keeping busy households running smoothly by staying organized, anticipating needs, and supporting daily routines. I am comfortable with long hours and full time schedules and have built my career in roles that require reliability, flexibility, and professionalism. I take pride in being someone families can truly depend on and feel confident welcoming into their home.
