Hi, my name is Kristine and I just moved back to Hawaii from Minnesota after being away for 8 years. I was born and raised in Minnesota, but was in Hawaii for 3 wonderful years while I attended school at the University of Hawaii at Manoa. I saved up money for 5 years to get back here and am so happy to be back on the Aloha state I have my Master's degree in Addiction Counseling: Advanced Practice from the Hazelden Betty Ford Graduate School of Addiction Studies (2015) and my Bachelor's degree is in Social Work from UHM (2012). I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and Certified Substance Abuse Counselor (CSAC) in Hawaii. I have always been a "people person" and would say I can get along with most anybody. I have a full time telehealth job as a Mental Health Counselor so am only babysitting on some weeknights and weekends Read more (check my schedule here for current availability). I would love to schedule a babysitting opportunity in advance with your family. I am great with children, as I have 15 cousins younger than me. (Growing up they would always ask when I'd be coming over next). I'm very caring and understanding, but know that each family has rules to be followed. I am always up for fun and new things and am ready to take on new challenges. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Kristine is wonderful! She has watched our two young children and handled it with ease. She's very organized, on time, and easy to contact. It's so nice to be able to trust your children with someone! We look forward to using her often.

Kristine was great! She was on time and ready to take on both my boys for the night. She was so calm and considerate when my oldest had his mini-meltdown as it was time to leave. She was quick to try to distract him and get him involved in a fun activity that would take his mind off the fact that we were leaving.

Kristine was fabulous! She is very hands-on with the children! She watched my three year old daughter, along with my friend's two children. She brought games, movies, coloring supplies, etc. She was very prepared, professional, trustworthy and a sweetheart! She communicated very well with us before and during the job. My husband and I thought she was absolutely wonderful and we are looking forward to utilizing her frequently! It is a blessing to find someone like Kristine to trust your child with. Thank you, Kristine!!!
