About Kristen

Experience: 3 yrs

Hi. My name is Kristen. I'm a 42-year-old visual artist and mother to wonderful 17-year-old twins. I have over 25 years of ALL AGES child care experience. My approach to caregiving is child-led, hands-on, and play-driven, fostering creativity, independence, and a lifelong love of learning. I'm ALSO really FUN! Very passionate about play-based learning and the MONTESSORI method. I enjoy facilitating age appropriate sensory play activities, music exploration, and planning outdoor time/adventures. As a caregiver, I value clear, open communication and frequently provide updates, photos, and texts to keep parents informed and reassured. (Currently available 4 days a week, Date Nights & weekends) If you're looking for a warm, experienced, and play-focused caregiver, I'd love to connect! Thank you, Kristen

Kristen watched our two girls for a few nights while we were visiting from out of town. Our girls instantly connected with her (and that’s no small feat). She met the kids where they were at, and at the same time she paid close attention to our notes in bed time routines, etc. We would be thrilled to have Kristen watch our girls in the future (and so would they!).
