Hi, I'm Kristin! I'm a 30-year-old educational professional with a plethora of experience and energy to bring to your family. During the school year, I work in the Tacoma School District as a school psychologist. My hobbies include arts and crafts, baking, trying new Instantpot recipes, exploring local parks, and yoga. EDUCATIONAL HISTORY: I have degrees in developmental psychology and at-risk youth, school psychology, and educational psychology. NANNY EXPERIENCE: I've previously worked as a live-in nanny/au pair for over a year (11 yo boy, 11 yo girl, 16yo girl, 2 yo dog) as well as a full-time summer nanny for a nonverbal 3 year old with autism. OTHER EXPERIENCE: I've participated in two years researching how children learn to read. I've worked in school districts since 2012 as a school psychologist, behavioral therapist, and substitute teacher. The past 3 years have been spent partly in a Montessori elementary setting, a Read more philosophy that I embrace. WHY YOU SHOULD REACH OUT: Understanding of child development and research-based educational approaches across the developmental pathways. Well-versed in singalong songs. Believe in holistic child development and fostering independent and critical thinkers. Focused experience with children with disabilities. I have a squeaky clean background check and driving history. My availability is through the end of August, at which time I will return to work. Please reach out with any questions! I can't wait to meet your family. References available upon request!
