About Kristen

Experience: 20 yrs

Fostering a child's growth and development is my true passion, and I have dedicated the past 20 years to making a positive impact on the lives of families. I am a Certified Medication Assistant and maintain current First Aid Training and CPR Training. I work with autistic boys and my approach is creative and imaginative, and I love engaging children through educational games, puzzles, and board games. I am comfortable caring for up to three children, ranging from infants to pre-teens. I am happy to assist with meal preparation, carpooling, light housekeeping, and travel. I prioritize clear communication by following your preferred method and always uphold your household rules. Because I am comfortable with pets, I am happy to include your furry family members in our daily activities. I look forward to providing reliable, nurturing support for your family, and I am excited to help your children learn and thrive every day.
