My goal as a nanny is to take care of children, help them grown and watch them have fun!. I described my personality as outgoing, patience, responsible, warmth and creativity. I love going to the park with the kids, making crafts and i am very loving. I want to make a difference in the care of the children, so that as they grow up they remember a childhood full of fun and happiness; at the same time keeping the family calm.

Making a positive impact on children's lives is what I strive for! As a former Program Facilitator and Youth Development Specialist, I have three years of experience supporting families by providing reliable care. I am currently a receptionist at a Pediatrics office. I am patient, calm, friendly, and approachable. I am comfortable enforcing household rules and caring for children of all ages. I keep parents informed through verbal communication at pickup, regular updates via text or phone call, and by following your preferred communication method. I enjoy board games, puzzles, and even some technology-based games. I am also willing to help with carpooling, light housekeeping, and travel. I speak both English and Spanish. I hope to bring my enthusiasm and experience to your family!

Booked by 1 family in Mount Airy, MD

Hi there! I’m Kristina — the oldest of my siblings and naturally the “big sister” type. I’m 16 years older than my youngest siblings, so caring for kids has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Over the years, I’ve also cared for my coworkers’ little ones and even my elderly grandfather, which taught me patience, responsibility, and compassion. I currently serve on both the Kids Team and Youth Team at my church, working with children from just a few weeks old up to 17 years old. I truly love helping kids grow, learn, and feel seen. I believe every child deserves someone who shows integrity, kindness, and care — and I strive to be that person in every interaction.

Kristina was a great sitter! She arrived exactly on time, and was considerate and patient with my toddler who has a speech delay.
