I am a special education teacher who lives in Smithtown and works in Bellerose, Queens. I'll be teaching summer school until 3 p.m. I'd love to work P. M. hours in Great Neck or Manhasset as I could then easily hop on the LIE after rush hour! I'm a non-smoker (highly allergic to smoke + cats). I'm available afternoons, evenings, weekends, and during school breaks. I'm available, on weekends, to babysit on "date nights" near the Smithtown/St. James/Lake Grove area! I have experience caring for newborns to teens. I have been teased and affectionately called, "Mary Poppins," by the moms whose children I have cared for. I typically bring a variety of toys, games, & books to my "gigs." I am confident that any of the families whose children I've watched over the past 20+ years would be happy to chat with you. After marriage, I had to make an entirely new profile: due to my legal name change. I've asked former clients to post reviews, so more should be up soon!
Christine babysat all three of my children and was very helpful after I had my third child. She is as close and trusting to having a family member in your home with an added bonus of being a full time teacher. I’ve never had someone that engages with the kids as she did. Always came with a bag of books, games, puzzles…sat on the floor and actually played with them. She handled 3 children from 9months to 7years old better than me at times. Christine was a true blessing for me and you would be lucky to have her care for anyone in your home.
