Hi my name is Kristen and I am a 30 year old college student. I have 4 years of professional experience, but have been babysittingsince I was 13. I am CPR and First Aid trained. When I was 13 my aunt ran a daycare. I would help with the cleaning, supervise the kids when my aunt couldnt, the cooking, and taking care of the babies. When I was 21 I would occasionally watch my friends child from the time she was 6 months till 8 years old. When I was 23 I worked for the school district as a substitute noon duty. When I was 26 I worked for Elizabeth Gomez for 8 months. She had two kids. A boy who was 10 and a girl who was 5. My responsibilities were to pick up the kids, help with their homework, drive them to their extracurricular activities, clean, and cook them dinner.

Hello! I just graduated from Cal State Fullerton with a major in Child and Adolescent Studies! I am starting my teaching credential and master's program next semester. I am currently working within a school district in the IE, substitute teaching all the way from preschool to 12th grade. I love art, pets, music, playing outdoors, and so much more! I am on summer break right now and have a lot of availability, but once the school year starts up, I won't have as much. I would love to support your children as well as you!

Caring for a child means supporting their safety, growth, and emotional well-being with consistency, respect, and compassion. I bring those values to every family I serve. I am an experienced, energetic caregiver and mother, CPR/AED and CPI certified, with formal study in child development as part of my degree requirements. I am active, dependable, and thrive in supportive, structured environments that help children build confidence, healthy habits, and strong social skills. Beyond my professional experience, I volunteer with children in the special needs community and youth sports, which has strengthened my ability to adapt, lead with patience, and respond calmly in high-stress situations. I take pride in being fair, trustworthy, and genuinely invested in each child’s well-being. I would be honored to support your family and provide a loving, safe, and encouraging environment for your loved one.
