About Christine
Experience: 10 yrs
Hello! I am a mom of three kids ages 19, 16, and 14 with 11 years of experience as a nanny. I love children and have a gentle, kind, patient personality. I have been babysitting since I was 13 and have volunteered in the nursery and preschool room at church. My longest nanny job was with the same family for 5 years. They had a 5-year-old and 2 1/2-year-old twins. I have learned that every child is unique and getting to know and understand each child is important when caring for them as a nanny. I hope to get to know your child (children) and to give them the individualized care they need. *I am allergic to cats and dogs and I am unable to work in a home with pets.

Christine took care of our daughter for 6 months from Jan 2021 to mid-June 2021, when our baby was 5-10 months old. Christine is super gentle, kind, patient, and always great at soothing babies and making our child feel safe. Our daughter is not the easiest to take care of; it takes her a while to warm up to strangers and when she's upset, her cry/scream can lift your roof off.... But none of those things scared Christine away or disturbed Christine's calm and gentle manner. She gained our baby's trust with her gentle and steady care. Christine also is aware of the developmental stages and changes a lot of different activities that helped our baby learn/explore new skills and overall kept our daughter very happy. Christine is very observant; when she noticed our baby start to make "b" sounds, Christine would help her practice by speaking more "b" sound words to her. Our daughter also needed to be held for naps and Christine held her for all her naps through these six months. Christine
