About Cristina

Experience: 10 yrs

As a mother to a 3-year-old daughter and a caregiver with over 15 years of childcare experience, I am passionate about supporting children's growth and development in a safe, nurturing environment. I am patient, calm, creative, and friendly, and I believe open communication with parents is key. I respect and follow household rules, while keeping parents updated on their child's day and any important details-whether through quick check-ins at pickup or regular updates via text or phone calls. I love engaging children in fun and enriching activities, from outdoor sports and physical play to board games, puzzles, and educational games that encourage learning. I'm also happy to assist with meal preparation, carpooling, light housekeeping, and swimming supervision.

We've known Cristina since we started working with her during the pandemic (so, for quite some time!) and she was a full-time nanny for our oldest child. Cristina is knows and loves children, and, as a caregiver is supremely nurturing and reliable. Of note, when we worked with her, our child was experiencing some sensory challenges and evaluations and Cristina was an invaluable member of our team, in making the necessary adjustments and supporting our needs. Hoping she finds a lucky family again soon!
