I’m a warm, grounded caregiver who focuses on helping children feel truly seen, safe, and understood. My approach is rooted in mindful communication, emotional awareness, and creating a calm, consistent environment where children can explore, express themselves, and build confidence. I support early communication and independence through tools like baby sign language, offering choices, and guiding children through big feelings with patience and empathy. I value play-based learning, outdoor time, creativity, and simple daily routines that help children feel secure and engaged. As a mother, I bring a deeply attuned and intuitive presence to my work. I understand how important trust, consistency, and emotional safety are in a child’s development, and I approach each family with care and respect for their unique rhythm. I have experience caring for children from infancy through school age, including supporting siblings, managing routines, and creating engaging, screen-free days filled with play, learning, and connection. Read more I aim to be a steady, positive presence that feels like an extension of the home. I offer a flexible rate range depending on the level of support needed and am always open to a thoughtful conversation about what feels aligned for both the family and myself.

Kristi is so kind, warm and knowledgeable! She’s been very understanding of our new parent anxieties and is so gentle and loving with our son. We know he’s in great hands when she’s watching him.

Kristi was phenomenal with our 19 month old. She worked with us until our kid was ready to receive care from her and was very patient with the process. Our kid loved playing with her! We look forward to continuing to work with Kristi for our care needs!

Kristi cared for our 1-year-old and 3-year-old all week, and we feel so lucky to have found her. She is kind, responsible, and an excellent communicator—everything you hope for in someone watching your kids. She brought such a positive, calm energy into our home, and even showed up one day wearing a butterfly headband just to delight the kids (they loved it!). Kristi was also incredibly flexible when our schedule shifted unexpectedly—whether we ran late or needed her a little earlier, she adjusted with no hesitation. We would absolutely recommend her and hope to work with her again soon!

Julie, from the moment I stepped into your home, I felt the warmth, and the care you pour into everything that truly matters. I’ve felt so welcomed, and I’m grateful for the presence we’ve shared and the rhythm we’re beginning to build together. I’m really looking forward to more sweet moments ahead.
