Kristiana's Bio

I have been involved with children in some way, either in my professional or personal life, over the past 10 years. It is where I am the happiest and most fulfilled. I was a competitive swimmer in college and began working with children by teaching swim lessons and working as a swim coach.

I first gained experience as a nanny by working as a mother's helper for a family for two years while I was in college....

Sandrine B. says:
We just moved here from Canada and we needed some help with our 2 kids (9 months old and 2 1/2 yrs old) while we were running around for the house. Kristiana was always there on time and she was very pleasant. She also brought lots of arts and crafts for the little ones. I would see her doing amazing with older kids (~4 and up).
Although our needs have changed (we need live-in help), I would call her first if...

Kristiana F. responds:
Sandrine, Thank you for your nice review. It was a pleasure taking care of your family and sorry to hear plans have changed but let me know if there is anything I can do to help in the mean time. It was fun learning new ways of doing things and figuring out ways to help you with your recent move to the valley!
Gary C. says:
I've known Kristina for almost 10 years. Trust her totally. She takes care of our 7 month old (boy) and 6 year old (boy) and everything is done perfectly. You couldn't ask for a more responsible person.

Gary, thank you for the great review! Nice to connect with someone I know and love and help take care of your family as if they were my own!
Julie S. says:
We messaged with Kristiana about a long-term commitment to care for our 14 month old. Both my husband and I talked with her on the phone. We moved appointments around to schedule an interview time that would work for her. She gave us 9 minutes notice that she wasn't showing up. Unprofessional and unreliable. She said it was because she's going to interview for someone else. The grass is always greener...

Kristiana F. responds:
I apologize for canceling the interview 15 minutes prior to our scheduled time; I take my commitments very seriously and was on my way to meet with you. But, I felt I needed to listen to my gut that was telling me it was not going to be a right fit and I also felt ready to make a commitment to a family I had previously interviewed with the day before, so out of respect for your time I thought that was the best...

Jennifer M. says:
Kristiana did a very good job with our kids. We were in from out of town and she helped us so much! She even brought pumpkins for the kids to decorate. She played with them and was very sweet! I could tell the kids liked her too from their comments.

Kristiana F. responds:
Thank you for letting me take care of your adorable family, I had so much fun with them and helping you while were in town!
Donald H. says:
I met Kristiana through Care.com and hired her after interviewing several applicants. She was our first choice to watch our 7 month old son and she worked for us about a month. On a few occasions, I asked for her to watch our son very early in the morning because of my job requirements. She came to my home at 0400 am so I could meet my job showtime. Even at these early hours she was pleasant and professional.

Thank you for the review, it was fun taking care of your little guy, glad you were able to find someone else after I was offered another position.
Irina G. says:
My daughters, age 4 and 6, are never bored with Kristiana. She always arrives with a bunch of crafts, she knows how to play all the card/board games in the world, swimming pool activities, quiet games, loud games, role playing...you name it! Kristiana is educated, smart, punctual and very, very reliable. She is truly amazing!

Irina, Thank you for the wonderful review! I really love taking care of your 2 daughters, I have so much fun with them. They are an absolute joy to be around!
Wendi N. says:
Kristiana is great with my two toddlers; she is professional and trustworthy and my kids always enjoy her. She will often bring fun crafts and activities for them to do such as homemade play dough, water balloons and painting birdhouses. My normally shy daughter now asks for her to visit on a regular basis! I highly recommend her! Wendi

I am more than pleased to write this review on Kristiana.

I have two boys ages 2 1/2 and 10 months and she does a wonderful job with them. When I first interviewed Kristiana she made an excellent first impression by her promptness, the engagement she showed in trying to get to know my son, and also she asked me great questions like, "Do you have any pet peeves about babysitters", and "What concerns you most...

Thank you for the great review. I really enjoy working with your family and helping to maintain consistency, stability to your children while you are working. You have a beautiful family and glad to help anyway I can.
Julie B. says:
Overall, we had a great experience with Kristiana sitting for our 14-month-old son. She came to our aid when our other sitter failed and was everything we expected; knowledgeable, caring, and focused on child interaction. We will definitely use Kristiana again. I would highly recommend her services to others in the valley.

Thank you so much for the nice review. You have a beautiful family and it was pleasure taking care of your son. Let me know when I can help with a night out in the future. Kristiana
Anne F. says:
I was skeptical about having someone watch my 20-month old daughter. She has never been watched by anyone but her father and myself. When I came across care.com I gave it a shot. Kristiana came to my home prior to the date I needed someone to watch my daughter. This made me feel comfortable because I was able to get to know her and get used to the idea of her watching my daughter. When she showed up she was... More
