About Krista

Experience: 10 yrs

Hey there! My name is Krista and I have been a nanny for 10 years with the same family. Before that I was a preschool teacher working with infants - preschool age. I am also a mother myself. At my current job, I've had the privilege to watch the kids grow up since they were little. My responsibilities have changed each year and it's been exciting to adjust what I do with them each year based on their ages. I love incorporating age appropriate learning activities throughout the day to keep them engaged in educational and creative things. This includes things like reading, doing arts & crafts, sensory activities, baking and science experiments. I am excited to join a family who is educated on legal pay and is comfortable with a work contract. If it sounds like I would be a good fit for your family, I would love to meet with you to discuss more details! - Krista

Krista has been nannying for us for 3-1/2 years. She is everything we were looking for and more. We have 4 young children including a set of twins. Krista comes up with so many creative and fun things to do with them from arts and crafts to nature walks to playing educational games. She takes them on outings and will spend her off time planning fun activities for when she is with them. She really goes above and beyond. She transports them from school and to sports/activities. She also spends time doing light housework, laundry, organizing, grocery shopping. She is so generous cooking anything the kids ask for to make. Our kids love make believe and dress up and she will make them costumes and props to become whatever they want to be. She is so creative and I’m always in awe of the things she comes up with. Most importantly she is trustworthy, kind and loving to our kids. We are so lucky we found her. Our kids adore her and so do we.
