About Kirsten

Experience: 10 yrs

I am a 28-year-old Vocal Performance grad of Lawrence University in Appleton Wisconsin. I've taken Edward hospital's "safe-sitter" course which truly prepared me for a multitude of emergency situations, as well as fun and creative ways to connect with kids! I've cared for children of 1 month-18 years old. I've had many leadership roles outside of nannying such as, leading musical rehearsals, student leading an adventure class, running organizations at my school, as well as teaching summer camps. I have a reliable car available for transport, but would request reimbursement for gas if I'm driving extensive amounts. I have experience in First Aid, backpacking, spelunking, horseback riding, and rock climbing, and as Singer/actor, I would be thrilled to give basic voice, acting, and piano lessons! My go to activities when taking care of others is to keep active, but I also thoroughly enjoy coloring, reading, or playing indoor games. I'm happy to help around the house.

Kirsten was amazing. Kirsten watched our 5-year-old daughter every weekday morning for several months and brought her to preschool. She was engaging, always full of smiles, and made our daughter's mornings an absolute delight. She helped keep the house clean, often guiding our daughter through picking up her mess in her room and the living room. If she comes back to the area and is looking for more opportunities to nanny we will definitely consider rehiring her. Our daughter absolutely adores her and she was fantastic.
