I currently am a nanny. I’ve watched the girly since she was 4 months, now 1 year. I also help in church nurseries on weekends supervising children ages 0-4. We have anywhere from 3-6 children at a time. I’m also a weekly sitter for an infant and toddler and have recently started a new career as a nanny. Most of my paid experience has been with infants and toddlers, but I have watched older children as well. I have a degree in Human Development and Family Studies, which has allowed me to pay attention to developmental needs and milestones for children. I love to do this on my free time as it allows me to connect with the child inside of myself and be a very playful, silly character while interacting with children. I’m a very compassionate, kind, loving person who is just here to be of service and show love where I can (: (Also it wasn’t an option listed but I do know a good amount of American Sign Language if you’re interested in teaching your kiddos)

Hi families! My name is Kristin, and I’ve been a professional nanny for over 20 years, caring for children from newborn to age 13. I’m CPR/First Aid certified, trained in infant care. I am passionate about providing safe, loving, and engaging environment for every child I take care of. Whether we’re building a blanket fort, tackling homework, or exploring the outdoors. I believe in showing up with patients, creativity, and consistency. I drive and have my own vehicle, so I’m happy to help with school pickup, after school activities, or weekend adventures. Families say I’m dependable, upbeat, and quick to become part of the team. I show up on time, come prepared, and follow through, whether that’s updating parents, organizing routines, or stepping I. When plans change. I’m happy to bring references from the wonderful families I’ve worked with over the years. I look forward to connecting with local families looking for someone experienced, warm, and genuinely committed to your child’s care.

$25/hrstarting from

Hello, I am a proud parent of a daughter who is 21 and a son who is 24. I am also a violin teacher and have been teaching for over 30 years. I have done babysitting for the company Jovie for around two years. Being a parent involves experience in every phase from newborn to college. People enjoy being with me because I’m fun and positive. I am generous, kind, and loving. Being a little bit older than typical babysitters, I believe my age makes me more qualified in terms of how to handle an emergency situation or something unexpected. I love kids of every age..
