I began babysitting two young children at the age of 13 and continued to care for children into my twenties. One of my clients had four children. I volunteered for years in the church nursery as well as taught Sunday school. Then, at the age of 28, I became a mom and now have three children. I have been homeschooling them for almost 11 years. I have been working with care. com for almost 3 years and have served multiple families. So, I have lots of experience with children! I am also CPR, AED and First Aid certified.

Kristen was absolutely fantastic when we recently needed her to look after our 9 month old son while we had to be at an appointment for a few hours. He took to her immediately and she made him feel very comfortable. And, this was our first experience having a non-family member watch him, so she was very good at keeping us updated throughout the day on how our son was doing.

She was also extremely flexible and communicative when we were trying to set up the times to meet. Overall a wonderful experience, and we would love to hire her again!

Kristen was absolutely exceptional while caring for my children during a relatively hectic wedding day. The schedule required multiple location changes, and she handled every transition with ease, flexibility, and professionalism. She was punctual, proactive, and seamlessly jumped in wherever needed.

Most importantly, Kristen was incredibly nurturing and attentive with my children, providing a calm and supportive presence throughout a busy and unpredictable day. Her ability to adapt while maintaining such a high level of care truly sets her apart.

She is an outstanding nanny, and I would highly recommend her without hesitation. I could not have attended the wedding without her onsite  help, attention, and flexibility!

We hired Kristen to look after our three daughters (ages 8, 6, and 4) during the weekdays last summer, and she was honestly wonderful. She’s incredibly reliable, organized, and just very thoughtful in how she approaches childcare.

What we appreciated most was how she balanced everything. She put together activities that were actually age-appropriate and kept the girls busy, but she was also smart about logistics—always keeping an eye on the weather, driving times, cost, and how much energy the kids had left. She followed the structure we asked for perfectly, making sure there was a good mix of learning and play.

Kristen was a great communicator  and  has a naturally positive attitude. Even on long days, she stayed calm, attentive, and really engaged with the kids. We were so happy with her work and would recommend her to any family in a heartbeat.

Kristen is an exceptional human and care taker. She’s got a natural talent for taking care of babies and children of all ages and it shows. Kristen has been a family nanny for my daughter Julia for a year, taking care of her every Friday and occasional date nights. She’s also taken care of our cat when we’ve got out of town. My daughter adores Kristen, it’s obvious she is well loved. We trust Kristen deeply and highly recommend her to anyone looking for childcare and/or pet care. 

Kristen has been such a wonderful help to our growing family!  We had a new baby in August, and we hired Kristen to spend 1:1 time with our very active four-year old.  She has developed such a sweet relationship with our son, and he really looks forward to spending time with her.  Kristen has also been very good with our newborn too!  She is a very kind person, flexible and willing to lend a helping hand.  We are very grateful to have her help!

Absolutely fantastic. She was great with our four children. Our kids loved being around Kristen. She was always on time and extremely reliable. 

Kristen took care of my pets (dog & ferret) for 8 days while I vacationed.  It was the first time I left my elderly, blind dog in another's care.  She is very skittish around strangers; Kristen’s kindness and patience won her over.  Kristen sent regular text updates to let me know how my fur babies were doing.   I came home to a clean house, two well-cared for pets and a week’s worth of mail stacked neatly on the kitchen table.  Kristen is the perfect pet sitter!   

Kristen babysat out toddler and we are thankful for her. She was very patient and nurturing and gave full time and attention to him. She is also punctual and kept us updated on the schedule beforehand. 

Kristen was great! My kids loved playing with her right away. She was even able to distract my 8-month-old old who rarely lets me out of her sight without her getting upset. She is awesome, I would recommend her for sure.

She was excellent and our kids love her! She was interactive with them and do many activities! 

Kristen was fantastic! Super responsive and professional, and the kids really enjoyed spending time with her. We would definitely hire her again. Thanks, Kristen!

She understands boundaries. 
She would protect your child(ren) and your pets, even at her own risk
She is a kind, but strong woman
She is trustworthy.
She is loyal
And lastly, she will not seek to be entertained with devices while caring for the kids or your pets.

Kristen is a warm, friendly person who takes her work very seriously. She's responsible, trustworthy, and she loves children and animals. I have known her for many years. During my recovery from surgery she helped me with housework, cooking, and shopping, and has taken care of my precious cat. She's a pleasure to have around.

I have know Kristen for 4years and know people who have know her for decades. Kristen is a person of honesty and integrity and a joy to be around. She is very caring and reliable.

Kristen has been wonderful with my two young children so my husband and I can have date nights (3 yo and 3 months)! It has been wonderful to have her with us!

Kristen is great! She is always on time with great communication. Our 2 boys love her, she was easily able to handle bedtime with two boys, and was also great with our big anxious dog. We've hired Kristen multiple times and each time she has been great! Definitely recommend :)
