A little bit about me

Hi, I’m Kristena!

I’m a dedicated, nurturing nanny with over a decade of paid experience caring for children of all ages, along with hands-on experience as a mother. I take an intentional, personalized approach to childcare—focusing on each child’s developmental stage, emotional needs, and unique love language. I create engaging learning and cognitive-based activities while providing positive behavioral guidance, helping children feel confident, supported, and truly seen as they grow. I look forward to hearing from you!

The most important part about being a nanny...

I believe it’s important to build a strong bond with each child, understand their individual needs and personality, and support their development through patience, encouragement, play, and meaningful experiences. Being someone a child can trust while helping them learn, grow, and become more independent is what makes being a nanny so rewarding to me.

My experience with special needs children...

* Experience caring for children with ADHD, including helping with routines, transitions, focus, and emotional regulation.
* Experience supporting children with sensory processing differences, adapting activities and environments to their individual sensory needs.
* Patient and understanding approach to children who may become overwhelmed, overstimulated, or have difficulty communicating their needs.
* Comfortable using structured routines, sensory-friendly activities, movement breaks, and positive reinforcement.
* Experienced in creating a calm, supportive environment while encouraging independence and confidence.

The most important part about being a nanny...

I’ve had the opportunity to be present for so many firsts—from first smiles and new words to learning new skills and becoming more independent. It’s incredibly rewarding to know that I played a small part in helping them feel safe, loved, confident, and ready to explore the world around them.
