About Kristen

Kristen has been part of our family for 10 years — first as our full-time nanny for 6 years, and for the past 4 years in a part-time capacity while working with other families. She now has room to take on a new family, and any family would be lucky to have her. Kristen practically raised our two children, now 14 and 10, and she is adored by them like a third parent. Over the past decade she's been conscientious, trustworthy, dependable, organized, and flexible. She is a great communicator and very safety conscious, and she has an outstanding ability to anticipate what our family needs before we even ask. Beyond childcare, Kristen has become an invaluable family assistant — she's excellent at helping run a household, from coordinating schedules and errands to keeping day-to-day logistics on track. Over the years she's taken our children on countless outings (the park, the library, the Oakland Zoo, Rain or Shine, Lawrence Hall of Science, and more) and has seamlessly managed drop-off and pick-up for play dates, school, and after-school activities. Kristen earned her B.A. at UC Berkeley and had years of nannying experience with other families before she came to work for us. We are endlessly grateful for the decade she's given our family, and we give her our highest possible recommendation.
