About Kristen

Reviewed on 5/7/2024

I am writing to wholeheartedly recommend Kristen M for any childcare position. She has been an invaluable part of our family for the past 5 years and has consistently demonstrated exceptional qualities that make her an outstanding caregiver. She has been with our family for some major milestones in our lives including the birth of our third child. That includes many first foods, first words, first words of my second son, first steps, potty training. When my best friend had a baby mid-pandemic, Kristen didn’t flinch when I asked if we could take her baby in during the day so my friend could continue to work, which left her with 4 children under 5 to watch. She didn’t mind, and she handled them all with patience and ease. When my brother had a destination wedding that was adults only, Kristen was the one we trusted to watch our children that week while we were away. When I changed jobs from working sporadic 12-hour night shifts to 40 hours a week on day shift, Kristen was there for us and made the transition so much less stressful. She also was there to see our two family dogs grow old. She stayed with our children when we had to put our first dog down. She comforted them and was a calming presence for us all. She was there when we brought our new puppy home, then the 9 foster dogs that came in and out of our home that followed. When we added two more permanent furry additions to our family she was supportive, and ever so helpful. When we go away we don’t hesitate to leave our pets with Kristen. She knows their routines and personalities well and they love her too. From the moment Kristen joined our household, she proved to be reliable, dependable, and trustworthy. She consistently arrives on time and goes above and beyond to ensure the well-being and happiness of our children. One of Kristen’s most remarkable traits is her agreeable nature. She effortlessly adapts to any situation and handles challenges between our three children with grace and composure. She is incredibly kind, generous, and patient, creating a nurturing environment for our children. Moreover, Kristen is remarkably crafty and inventive, always finding creative ways to engage and entertain our children while fostering their development. Whether it's crafting, playing, or educational activities, she brings enthusiasm and fun to every interaction. In summary, Kristen has not only been a reliable caregiver but has also become family to us. Our kids view her as a bonus grandma and we have been so fortunate to have her in our lives. Her dedication, flexibility, kindness, and exceptional childcare skills have left an indelible mark on our family, and we are immensely and forever grateful for her. If we could’ve kept her forever we would have, but this fall our youngest will be in school full time and we will no longer need someone during the day. I wholeheartedly endorse Kristen and am confident that she will exceed expectations in any childcare role she undertakes. Please feel free to contact me if you require any further information. Sincerely, Christy & Tom
