Hello! My name is Christine, and it would be my pleasure to help your children and your family. I have years of experience with toddlers and school-aged children. Most recently, I had the joy of taking care of a precious infant. I have also raised three very successful children of my own. I am very attuned to children's needs, and I love using play as an opportunity to learn. Reading, music, art, dance, and joy are just as important as schoolwork to a developing child. I am not a fan of screen time for any child. I understand the importance of technology in this day and age, but it must be very limited for our young ones in order for them to develop good social skills. I am a great cook, an avid reader, a gardener, and love hiking and love to share these hobbies with children, even if it's only a backyard expedition! I believe that getting outside and getting dirty is very important (don't worry, I'll make sure they are clean when you come home)!
Christine cared for my daughter multiple times a week for a year starting when she was 4 months old. She watched M for the full day 8-430 while my husband and I were working and still does on an as needed basis. While going back after maternity leave was hard, I felt so comfortable with my daughter in Christine’s care. She was so communicative, sent pictures throughout the day and gave updates on how my daughter was doing. She was always on time and super flexible if something needed to change or days/times needed to adjust which was so helpful. She was so good with my daughter always kept her engaged, did tummy/ floor time when she was small, took her on walks whenever it was nice out and read her books. My daughter absolutely loves her! I would recommend her to anyone!
