About Cristy

Experience: 12 yrs

Taking care of kids is something I truly enjoy, and I love being able to support families however I can. I have over 10 years of childcare experience, working with children from newborns to pre-teens, and I'm comfortable caring for up to four kids at a time. I'm CPR and First Aid certified, and creating a safe, fun, and caring environment is always my priority. I love getting kids outside, doing arts and crafts, reading books, playing games, and finding fun ways to keep them engaged and learning. I'm also happy to help with meal prep, driving, and light housekeeping related to the kids. I believe good communication is really important, so I always make sure parents know how the day went and what their little ones have been up to. I have a lot of experience with babies and children of all ages, and I have great references that I'd be happy to share. My goal is for families to feel like they can truly rely on me and know their kids are in caring, capable hands.

We were incredibly lucky to have Cris as our nanny for nearly two years, caring for our daughter from the time she was 4 months old until she was 2. She provided a caring, safe, fun, and stimulating environment and always showed up with a positive attitude and genuine affection for our daughter. Cris was also a wonderful partner to us as parents—thoughtful and proactive about suggesting ideas to support our daughter’s development, while always respecting our preferences and following our lead. We trusted her completely and always knew our daughter was in loving and capable hands. Over time, Cris became a close friend and truly felt like part of our family. The only reason our partnership ended was because she relocated out of state; otherwise, we would have happily continued working with her for much longer. We’ve remained close friends and feel so fortunate that she was such an important part of our daughter’s early years. We can’t recommend her highly enough!
