Hi, my name is Kristen Carlson. I'm 38 years old and have lived in the beautiful PNW for almost 14 years now. Originally from Michigan. I've earned a bachelors degree in rural human services when I was living in Michigan back in 2008. I have been a live out nanny for a few families in the area for about 5 years and loved it until I had my own kiddos. I have two daughters of my own aged 9 and 6. (Now that my youngest has been in Kindergarten I am looking for work again). Before I was a nanny I worked as an infant caregiver at a local YMCA caring for up to 3 infants solely from ages 6 weeks-18 months. I have enjoyed living in Washington with my husband and children. We love to hike, camp, play volleyball, and basically anything outdoors! When we start to miss the Read more snow, we head to the mountains! If there is anything more you'd like to know, please ask!
