A little bit about me

Hi, I’m Crystal! I’m a reliable, warm, and experienced caregiver with nearly 10 years of hands-on childcare and family support—both professionally and as a mom. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust, whether you need consistent weekly care, a go-to sitter for date nights, or help when your child is home sick.

I offer regular part-time childcare, evening care, and sick-day support. I’m patient, very familiar with routines, homework help, and calming techniques. I’ve cared for children of all ages, including infants and those with special needs.

Parents describe me as organized, kind, and easy to communicate with. I bring a calm, creative energy to every home I work with and take pride in keeping kids safe, happy, and cared for.

Let’s connect—I’d love to be part of your family’s care team!

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

In addition to raising three children of my own, I’ve provided trusted care for families during date nights, school breaks, and sick days. My background also includes working with children with special needs and supporting homeschooling routines, so I’m comfortable balancing structured learning with creative play.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Arts and crafts (especially anything with glitter or paint!)

Reading stories together and acting them out

Outdoor play like nature walks, scavenger hunts, or bubbles

Building forts or obstacle courses inside on rainy days

Educational games, puzzles, and simple science experiments

Music and dancing to get the wiggles out

Imaginative play like dress-up, role-playing, or building with blocks

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part of being a nanny is creating a safe, nurturing environment where children feel seen, supported, and loved. It’s not just about watching kids—it’s about building trust, understanding their needs, and being a positive, steady presence in their daily lives.

My experience with special needs children...

I have direct experience caring for children with special needs, including those with autism, ADHD, and sensory processing challenges. I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and adapting activities to support each child's unique strengths and needs. I’ve worked closely with families to follow therapy routines, support communication goals, and create calm, structured environments that help kids feel safe and confident.

Whether it’s providing one-on-one attention, helping with transitions, or finding creative ways to connect, I’m committed to showing up with empathy, flexibility, and a genuine desire to support each child as they are.

The most important part about being a nanny...

One of my favorite nanny moments was helping a 6-year-old girl build her reading confidence through our daily story time routine. We took turns reading pages, made silly voices for the characters, and even acted out scenes with puppets. After a few weeks, she excitedly read an entire book to her parents, seeing her face light up with pride was the best reward.
