About Cheistina

Experience: 3 yrs

I am extremely creative and love working with children, I feel I have a positive influence on them. With a rich background as a dance and drama instructor for school-age children and the invaluable experience of raising four children of my own, I bring a unique blend of creativity, patience, and hands-on parenting wisdom to the role. My years as a performing arts educator taught me how to engage children in imaginative play, foster their confidence, and support their emotional development through movement and storytelling. As a mother of four, I've navigated every stage of childhood--from sleepless newborn nights to teenage milestones. I understand the rhythms of family life, the importance of consistency, and the value of compassionate discipline. I'm adept at multitasking, managing schedules, preparing nutritious meals, and creating enriching activities that balance fun with learning. I would welcome the opportunity to bring my experience, and warmth, into your home.

Christina watched our 20 month old when we were in town to see a concert for our older child. I must admit, I was nervous! Boy did we get lucky that Christina accepted the job. Her long experience with little ones was immediately apparent. She thoughtfully brought something for our kiddo to play with since we were out of town. Our kiddo warmed to her quickly and was happy the whole time. We will be asking Christina to watch our kiddo again anytime we visit town.
