About Kirsten
Experience: 10 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
I am mom to two wonderful young men, 18 and 24. I've been working with and around kids and families since I was in middle school, babysitting, in college at residential center for youths, as a camp counselor, preschool teacher (7 years), and summer camp owner and director (12 years). I have a degree in Early Childhood Education, and I have my own parent education/ coaching business. I love playing, signing, reading, creating, and being out in nature with children. Care. com seems like a perfect way to add some extra income as I put my second son through college. I'd love to come spend time with your kids! I know how much parents need a break sometimes, and that they want to know their children are in good hands.

You would be lucky to have Kirsten as a sitter! She is attentive, empathetic, and fun. She is also an amazing resource for any parenting questions. We love her, our kids love her, our pets love her. You can’t go wrong here.
