I am currently on furlough from my full-time job as a licensed physical therapist assistant due to the pandemic. I have experience working in an outpatient clinic, as well as a school district with special needs children ranging from 3-21 years of age. I have worked in my field for 10 years and am first aid and CPR certified. Previous to the health care field, I worked as a nanny and have experience babysitting infants through school-aged children and have volunteered as a tutor. I currently have open availability.

    Kristen has watched my girls on multiple occasions. They are 1 and 3 and my 1 year old has some special needs including speech delay, low tone and difficulty with eating. She was wonderful with them! Always wiling to go out of her way to engage them in activities but be appropriately controlling of the situation. She was very flexible and willing to follow my instructions regarding meals, naps and etc. She is an excellent caregiver/sitter and I would recommend her to anyone!
