About Chris
Experience: 9 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
I have cared for many children over the years & have raised 3 kids of my own. Pets are like family & are included in any caregiving role. I enjoy reading, music, games & make believe as imagination is key. I enjoy outdoor activities. Infants find me gentle, caring & warm. I bond quickly to ensure they feel safe. I follow safe sleeping practices & non-restrictive play as they become active. I will prepare meals for the family as needed & I often can stay late/arrive early as my time is flexible. Going to activities is never a problem as my car is reliable & safe. Helping with school projects & ensuring homework is complete is not a problem. I will help keep the home tidy, run errands & do laundry whenever needed. I understand how stressful it is when adding someone to provide love & care for your family. I promise you I will not disappoint.

Chris worked for our family in a full-time capacity for almost 2 years and essentially helped to raise our daughter, who was about 8 weeks old when he started as our Manny. Chris is incredibly professional and helpful- he would do housework and laundry during downtime, and really helped to keep our household running! He even helped us with our dogs! He is incredibly flexible and was always available to help us when we were in a crunch. He also helped with our 5 year old son, transporting to and from school, with homework, and entertaining during the summer months! I cannot provide a more stellar recommendation for Chris. He continues to provide back-up care for our family and he is truly part of our family.
