Krystle G.

When my daughter was 9 months old I needed someone to watch her full time at their home so that I could study for school. I posted my job needs on care.com and then started looking through profiles of other individuals to try and move the process along more quickly. That was when I found Krystal. She had 2 daughters. One of them was about a year or so older than my daughter and her second daughter was only days younger than my daughter. This was important to me because she already had the experience of raising her first daughter (so she wasn't a newbie), and because my daughter and her youngest daughter were so close in age they would be at the same learning point. Add that to the fact that Krystal and I were both Navy wives (which meant we both understood that military lifestyles can be very different than civilian lifestyles) that it seemed like a natural fit. Her background check came back clean and within 24 hours we had completed the entire interview process and I hired her. Although our schedule was generally set hours throughout the week, she was always flexible if I needed her for more or less time. Her girls were well behaved, got along great with my daughter, and while Krystal's oldest daughter taught my daughter to go from crawling to walking, my daughter taught her youngest daughter how to start crawling. Overall, Krystal was consistently dependable, flexible, fair. She has a great personality as a mom, a babysitter, a navy wife, and a friend. My daughter was fed healthy meals, had a solid routine, and spent equal times outdoors at the playground and indoors doing crafts. If we ever needed a sitter again we would call her!
