A little bit about me

Greetings! My name is Kristi. I am a wife, mother and grandmother who adores her family.

I enjoy a life of simplicity, reveling in walks through our town, sitting on the front porch swing, gardening, baking and socializing with family, friends and neighbors. I am caring, creative, adventurous, friendly, curious and active. I enjoy gardening, books, hiking, history, camping, music, cycling, art, cooking and philosophy.

From a young age I enjoyed caring for babies and children. I began babysitting when I was just ten years old. In 1992, I graduated with a degree in Early Childhood Education and began teaching preschool. Realizing that I did not enjoy the institutional setting, I chose instead to become a professional nanny. Over nine years, I had the privilege of working with several different families. I have spent twenty-three years as a homemaker, mother and educator. For the past two years, I have enjoyed caring for children as a nanny again.

While at the families' homes, I have enjoyed engaging children in outdoor play, swimming, gardening, reading, singing, dancing, artwork, cooking and other creative activities.
