Hello my name is chrysta I'm 29 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.

Immediately upon arrival, Chrysta fit right in with our two young kids. She was genuine and kind, so it didn’t take much time at all for them to warm up to her. I truly hope I get the chance to hire Chrysta again. She felt like the perfect fit for our family. Thank you, Chrysta!!

If I could give Chrysta ten stars I would! She is incredible! This was our first time leaving our 7-month-old with someone we didn’t know, and Chrysta put all my worries at ease! Not only did Chrysta respond and communicate early on, but she was very flexible when our outing time was going to change. Chrysta was warm, smiley, energetic, and sweet from the moment she arrived. Chrysta arrived perfectly on time and immediately made my son smile with her smile. Chrysta was confident and easy going, which made me feel so comfortable leaving my son with her. She sent us pictures of him throughout the evening and let us know he was happy and doing well. When we got home, our son was safely asleep in his crib and everything was done perfectly! Chrysta even put the baby bottles in the cabinet without being asked. She truly went above and beyond and made our first time with a babysitter so smooth. I am so grateful to have found Chrysta and we will absolutely be calling her again!! I cannot recommend her highly enough! 

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.

Having Chrysta as our nanny was truly one of the greatest blessings for our family. From the very beginning, she became so much more than just a nanny—she became someone we completely trusted and loved having in our home. She cared for our daughter with so much patience, kindness, and genuine love, and it showed in everything she did.

Every day she created a safe, nurturing, and fun environment where our daughter could learn, grow, and feel completely loved. Our daughter absolutely adored her and looked forward to seeing her every day. It gave us so much comfort knowing she was in such caring and capable hands while we were at work.

She is dependable, responsible, trustworthy, and has an incredible natural gift for connecting with children. She always kept us informed, respected our routines, and consistently went above and beyond in every way. We never had to worry because we knew our daughter was receiving the same love, attention, and care that we would give her ourselves.

We truly cannot recommend her highly enough. Any family would be incredibly lucky to have her care for their children. She has made such a positive impact on our lives, and we will always be grateful for the love and dedication she gave our family.

Chrysta was our nanny from the time our daughter was 4 months old until around the time she turned 4, and she became a true member of our family. I honestly can't recommend her enough.

She's the most kind, loving, and communicative nanny we could have ever hoped for. She always kept us updated on how our kid's day was going, big or small. Our daughter adored her, and it showed in how present and engaged Chrysta was every single day. As she got older, Chrysta even took our kiddos on adventures to the park, children's museum, or to their various activities. We trusted her wholeheartedly.

When our son was born, Chrysta was there for our family through it all — supportive, steady, and a comforting presence during such a big transition. That's the kind of person she is. She even told my husband to let me rest more when I was postpartum... we love a girl's girl!

We went through the pandemic together, and she put the safety of our kiddos at the front of everything - even sacrificing time with her loved ones to make sure she kept our kids safe. 

When my husband and I decided to become foster parents, she immediately did the paperwork to be able to stay with our family during that journey. When we had placements, she treated them just like they were there from the beginning. Fostering is extremely challenging at times, but Chrysta made it doable. Through her time with our family, she helped with kids ages 4mo-12yo... and was equally as good with the older kids (firm, but fun!) as she was with the babies.

My kids and Chrysta have a special bond and we keep in touch. When she's in town, we go to dinner or have her over. Genuinely - any family would be lucky to know Chrysta and to have her in their lives. She's a gem.
