Hello, my name is Kristabel, a current icu nurse wanting to get back into working with kids while in between nursing jobs. I recently moved back to SD from LA, and am starting my next nursing job in early December. I graduated from UCLA in 2018 with a degree in psychobiology and spent 6 years working in ECE at UCLA. I spent 3 years in a young preschool classroom (ages 2-4) as a student teacher. I spent another year as a substitute teacher in different classrooms with ages ranging from 4 months - 5 years old. In my last 2 years of teaching, I worked as an infant/toddler teacher (2-16/18-24 mos) where I provided care to children in addition to planning curriculums and hosting parent-teacher conferences. In addition to working, I have babysat for many families over the last few years. I’ve worked in the ICU for the last 2 1/2 years, and needed a break from the emotionally heavy and stressful environment. In the meantime, I’ve been focusing on my baking side business and spending time with family! I love being creative, and emphasizing children’s strengths and interests in the activities I plan out. I am cpr certified (pediatric and adult), and am up to date with immunizations. In my free time, I love to create! I enjoy cooking and baking, as well doing arts and crafts. :)

“Kristabel is a godsend! So patient and fun with our 8mo old. She has extensive experience working with all ages and can adapt quickly to your child’s needs. Highly recommend working with her!”
