My name is Kristen- thanks for visiting! I am an experienced nanny looking for part time, long-term work. Ideally we would sign a one year minimum contract. I have nanny-contract examples on hand and I would be happy to share and negotiate. I am a very hands-on person who thrives on direct communication and trust. A lot of my experience is working as a House Manager. I am consistently punctual and take my positions seriously. I have an updated resume on hand for prospective nanny-families and it is available upon request. I have been working professionally in childcare for nearly 15 years- but babysitting and working for my own family and neighbors for much longer. My experience ranges from ages infant to early teens. I’ve worked with children who have special needs such as: speech impediments, wheelchair bound, Down Syndrome, ADHD, and experience with tube feeding. We will do age Read more appropriate crafts, sensory play, baking/cooking, water activities, bike rides, walks, or other fun activities the children will enjoy. I am willing to cook, meal prep, grocery shop, and pick up around the house. I also provide my own transportation for not only myself, but the children if need be. My car is clean, safe and capable of holding car seats properly. I look forward to answering any questions or addressing any special needs your situation requires.

We were looking for a part-time nanny for our 5 month old son and interviewed Kristen for the position. The phone interview went well and we had her come over to meet us. Kristen was great, super friendly, very comfortable with the baby, and seemed very professional. We ended up having something work out with a family member so didn't end up hiring her, but she was our first pick otherwise. We will be contacting her for filling in or babysitting needs in the future!

I had a great phone screen with Kristen, I thought we really connected and there might be a really possibility of her working with my family so we set up an in-person interview. The day before I reached out to confirm the date and time for our meeting, she replied and said she was was looking forward to meeting my family. Day of the interview, no call, no show, no response. I called her left a message and sent her two text messages to see if there was a problem, no response. Not only did this leave me very disappointed but I felt it was very rude for her to be so inconsiderate of our time.
