Hi, I’m Christina. I have been taking care of children since I was a teen. I have three children of my own and a grandson. I have experience taking care of non verbal kids on the spectrum as well. I also was a CNA for four years, would be open to senior care as well. I can do household stuff like laundry, cleaning, making dinner as well as travel.

Booked by 1 family in Kent, CT

I’m a mom of 5 kids and grandma to 10 kids between the ages of 2 and 17. I have many years of nanny experience and I was a stay at home mom for many years as well. I am easy going, flexible, warm and caring. I am CPR certified and a very safe driver with a clean driving record. I love to read with kids and get them outside. I am currently only looking for occasional jobs.
