A little bit about me

I’m a compassionate, dependable, and experienced childcare provider with over 7 years of experience. I truly enjoy building meaningful relationships with the children I care for and creating an environment where they feel safe, supported, and encouraged.

I believe children need both kindness and consistency while also valuing clear expectations, boundaries, and routines. I strive to create a balance where children feel heard and respected while learning responsibility and appropriate boundaries.

I love keeping children engaged through play, creativity, outdoor activities, reading, and age-appropriate learning. I also value open communication with parents and understand the importance of respecting each family’s parenting style and expectations.

Most importantly, I want every child in my care to feel comfortable, cared for, and confident.

A little bit about me

Hello, my name is Kristin. I'm an experienced nanny specializing in infants and toddlers. I love using flashcards and other teaching aids to get children familiar with colors, shapes, numbers and letters starting as early as 9 months old. All of the children I have nannied have gotten a huge head start in learning and reading, and by 36-48 months of age, most were able to identify all upper and lower case letters, basic shapes, primary and secondary colors, and numbers 1-20 (sometimes more). I can also structure to your specific learning needs if you prefer bi-lingual learning, or if your child has specific learning challenges/needs. I have experience working with children who have physical and developmental challenges. I was a lifeguard and swimming lesson instructor in high school, and although I have not kept current on my CPR and First Aid certification, I am fully versed in both.
