About Chrysta

Experience: 9 yrs

Hello my name is chrysta I'm 28 years old and i'd love to tell you a little bit about myself. I grew up in a very large family, and I loved every moment of it. I'm the second oldest of nine children so I've had my share and watching kiddos. My parents taught us from a very young age that we follow two rules that have stuck with me. One treat people how you want to be treated and two trust is the foundation of any relationship. I've been blessed to have amazing connections with my past families with the kiddos and the parents. I believe that when I watch your children that I treat them as if they were mine, because in the end, they do become a part of my family.

When Chrysta first came into our lives, she was interviewing to become a nanny for our six-month-old daughter. Looking back now, it’s hard to imagine that what started as a nanny interview would turn into a lifelong friendship and someone we consider part of our family. At the time, we were first-time parents trying to do it all. We were working tirelessly to get our business off the ground while also wanting to be fully present for our daughter. We were fortunate enough to work from home, so we convinced ourselves we could juggle everything. After about six months, reality set in. We realized we weren’t giving enough to our business, ourselves, or—most importantly—our daughter. We knew we needed help. After a week of interviews that left us discouraged, we began to wonder if we’d ever find the right person. Then Chrysta walked through our front door. From the moment we met her, her warmth, kindness, and bubbly personality immediately put us at ease. She lovingly held our daughter while we talked, and it was obvious that caring for children wasn’t just something she did—it was who she was. The second she left our home after the interview, my wife and I looked at each other and knew. If anyone was going to love and care for our daughter, it was going to be Chrysta. We couldn’t have made a better decision. The love, patience, and attention she gave our daughter were beyond anything we could have hoped for. Then, a little over a year later, we welcomed our son, M. into the world. Chrysta was there for every step of that journey too. In fact, when we went into labor, she arrived before the grandparents did so she could stay with our daughter while we headed to the hospital. That level of reliability, selflessness, and support meant more to us than words can express. People often say that “your nanny becomes family,” and in our case, that couldn’t be more true. Even after Chrysta pursued new opportunities—which we wholeheartedly supported—our relationship never changed. She remains a constant presence in our lives. Our children absolutely light up whenever they know they’re going to see her, and she continues to shower them with the same love and affection she always has. Chrysta is one of the most compassionate, thoughtful, dependable, and genuinely caring people we’ve ever met. She has an incredible heart, a wonderful head on her shoulders, and an instinctive ability to connect with children. She doesn’t simply watch kids—she invests in them, loves them, encourages them, and makes them feel safe and valued. If you’re looking for someone to care for your children, I can recommend Chrysta without the slightest hesitation. Trusting someone with your children is one of the biggest decisions you’ll ever make, and we never once questioned ours. Any family would be incredibly fortunate to have Chrysta in their lives. We certainly are.
