Christine watched our 4 children (a ten year old and triplet 8 year olds) until they became adults (they are now 24 and 22). She became a close family friend, trusted adviser to them, and epitomizes what a caregiver should be. She is compassionate and listens carefully. She is prepared--not just watching them, but engaging them in learning, reading, exercise. While working for us, she put herself through college and has become a highly respected special education teacher, knowledgeable about the latest techniques to work with students. She brings a high degree of energy and passion to her care for kids. As a clinical psychologist, I can attest to her sound judgement and interpersonal skills. I recommend her with unqualified enthusiasm. Tom D.
