About Christa

Experience: 10 yrs

With over 15 years of experience in childcare and education, I have a blend of skills that allow me to nurture and support children in a compassionate and engaging manner. My journey has taken me through various roles, including long-term nannying, teaching grades 6-12, and currently serving as a mental health therapist. This diverse background enables me to approach childcare with a holistic perspective, addressing not only educational needs but also emotional and behavioral development. I prioritize building strong relationships based on trust and communication. My approach is rooted in patience, empathy, and encouragement, as I believe that positive reinforcement is key to a child's development. I work closely with families to align on goals and expectations, ensuring that both parents and children feel supported.

Christa called before to ensure she understood the job. She arrived on time and was willing to do more than what was asked of her. Would definitely hire again.
