A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Tristen, and I've been passionate about caring for children for as long as I can remember. Growing up in a large family, I've always been surrounded by kids, which naturally led me to become a nanny. With over 4 years of experience as a dedicated nanny, I have developed a deep understanding of children's needs and how to create a nurturing, safe, and fun environment for them.
I took some time off to pursue my degree in Computer Science and Cybersecurity Engineering. While I enjoyed diving into the STEM world and expanding my skill set, I realized just how much I missed the joy and fulfillment that comes from being a nanny.
Now, in addition to my work in the tech industry, I'm eager to return to nannying. Combining my technical background with my love for childcare, I bring a unique perspective and a wealth of experience to the role. I am committed to providing the best care possible while making a positive impact on the lives of the children and families I work with.
