About Kristyn

I have been babysitting for over 10 years, for children ranging in age from 6 weeks through elementary school. My tasks have included supervising, playing with, feeding, and reading to children, changing diapers, and helping them with homework. I have taken undergraduate classes on child development at Michigan State University and graduate classes on developmental psychology at University of California, Riverside. I spent two years conducting research on preschooler's literacy development through Michigan State University and one year conducting research on children's cognitive development through University of California, Riverside. I also have experience caring for dogs and cats. I have been a certified 6-12 science teacher (credential is now expired as I no longer teach), and have 2 years experience teaching 8th grade and 2 years experience teaching high school.
