It's my pleasure to provide the most safe, fun, educational, kind, and gentle experiences for your most prized treasure. I have extensive experience as a f/t, live-in professional nanny for 13 years all over the US and world from newborns to pre-adolescents (see reviews). I worked as a nanny for families in San Francisco Bay Area, Chicago, NJ, CT, and Italy. I've also worked as a full-time & sub pre-K teacher. I've worked for many years nurseries with babies. I've been called a "baby whisperer" since I started a babysitters club at 11. I value structure and allowing for age-appropriate challenge, but safety, connection, and support come first & foremost in my approach. I have a BS in Psych, Pre-Med, CNA certification, and graduated with honors (SummaCumLaude), with an award for neuropsycch research. I am currently looking and applying for grad school in the neuropsych arena so I can work with neurodivergent kiddos in a clinical setting. I seek a position with 15-25 hrs/wk.
I have known Kristy for 36 years. She has been a nanny off and on since she has been old enough to do so. Kristy used my home for part of that time to watch children and I was able to witness firsthand the breadth of her knowledge and depth of her love for little ones. Kristy is compassionate, creative, loving and extremely knowledgable when it comes to working with children of all ages and personalities. I can not think of a better person to entrust with children than Kristy.
