A little bit about me

Hi!

My name is Kristin and I have lived in Columbia for about a year and a half. I am currently going to school for my bachelors in psychology and have my associates as a physical therapy assistant. My first experience working with children was helping my dad coach special olympics gymnastics. During high school I was a camp counselor for 3 consecutive summers working with children age four to thirteen. After I graduated college with my associates as a physical therapy assistant I actually ended up working as a daycare teacher. I have now been working in a daycare for almost 4 years and I am currently a preschool teacher for four and five year olds. I have experience with infants and have worked with kids ages 0 to 13. I am currently looking for a part time nanny position so that I can lighten my load and focus on finishing my degree. My ultimate goal is to be a child psychologist. Thank you for considering me as a possible addition to your family.

Best wishes!
