A little bit about me

I bring over 20 years of hands-on childcare experience, working with children and adults with disabilities, as well as children in foster care who have experienced trauma. As both an adoptive parent and a mother of five adult children, and now a proud grandparent of five, I understand the importance of patience, compassion, and consistency in creating a safe and nurturing environment.

Families can trust me to be dependable, trustworthy, and honest. I am highly organized, skilled at managing daily routines, and experienced in balancing structure with flexibility to meet each child’s unique needs. My personal and professional background allows me to provide not only attentive care but also emotional support and understanding for children who require extra compassion and stability.

By welcoming me into your family, you gain a reliable caregiver who will prioritize your child’s well-being, encourage growth and independence, and create a safe space where they feel valued and supported.

Kiersten N. - Seeking Work in Pearland

Babysitter Available in Pearland, TX: Kiersten N.

Hi! I'm Kiersten. I graduated from LSU last August and have worked with children since I've graduated. I work as a substitute teacher and I just finished up camp counseling, but I have experience babysitting my cousins and my nephew. I love working with kids and being a positive role model. One of my favorite memories is when we'd have down time at the summer camp I was working at. I'd do arts and crafts and jump rope with the kids which they enjoyed, but I also had a lot of fun because it gave us time to connect and for them to enjoy themselves outside of their classes.
