Cynthia Palm Coast
$25 per hour for 1 child

For the past three years, I've had the joy of caring for children of all ages, from infants to pre-teens. I'm comfortable caring for up to four children at a time. I've worked in group homes, shelters and family homes. I’ve worked with children who have medical diagnosis and developmental delays. I am patient, calm, and structured. I'm happy to prepare meals, do housekeeping or run errands. I am very active and enjoy outdoor activities! I am certified in First Aid and CPR. I spent two years as an emergency medical technician and am very comfortable with tending to wounds, injuries or springing into action when needed. I have a car and am comfortable with pets. I am bilingual (Spanish/English).

Booked by 1 family in San Mateo, FL

Over 20 years of pet care and pet owner. Currently no personal pets, sharing my love with other people's fur-babies. I'm a part time pharmacist and also take care of my aging grandmother.

Kris is my go-to sitter for my dog, Bruno. She is always in tune with Bruno's needs and is really passionate about what she does. I have used Kris's services outside of Urban Sitter, so I am ecstatic that she has joined!
