I love taking care of children and watching them grow. I am a mother myself, of a 29-year-old young lady who works in the ER department at Saint Joseph's Hospital in Syracuse . I am a nanny now and have been for the past four years. Prior to being a nanny, I worked at Bethlehem preschool for 15+ years. Most of my childcare experience has been with younger children. I have always known I wanted to take care of children. I have a6-year-old dog named Bogie . two kittens , Marvin and Benny and a cat named Bubbles . I love to listen to country music and to get out and walk in the beautiful weather.
Kristen has been our full-time nanny for the last three years. She has been amazing with both babies from day one and has seamlessly transitioned from infancy to toddlerhood and then to two under two! She is excellent at managing schedules and balances the needs of an infant while also planning activities for a no-napping toddler. They spend lots of time reading, playing outside and going for walks, doing arts and crafts, and working on so many fine and gross motor stills and language development in the process. Kristen has an extensive repertoire of nursery rhymes that my toddler now sings on repeat! Kristen is always punctual and gives plenty of warning for any time needed. Of special note, she has been invaluable in helping us navigate a food allergy, always diligently checking ingredients and adjusting recipes so that all of the children can bake special treats to share. It’s clear how much she loves every child in her care, and our children love her right back. I highly recommend Kristen to anyone who needs childcare.
