Hi - my name is Kristy, and I am a retired-teacher turned lawyer who is offering childcare, pet care, and/or tutoring services I love kids and have a lot of experience babysitting and tutoring. My youngest sister is nine years younger than me, so I started babysitting at 13 years old. I also was a kindergarten teacher for four years before I went to law school. I regularly watch my nephews, godsons, and niece. I also have tutored elementary aged students for over 10 years. In regards to pet care, I am a frenchie mom and love animals. I have watched friends and family members pets while they are out of town. I’m very responsible and caring. I also have a good sense of humor. Looking forward to meeting you.
“I highly recommend Kristy as a babysitter. With extensive experience caring for children of various ages, Kristy has consistently demonstrated a strong ability to engage, entertain, and care for kids in a safe and nurturing environment. Her reliability is exceptional, always showing up on time and prepared. Additionally, Kristy maintains a high level of professionalism, communicating effectively with parents and ensuring all needs are met. Whether it's managing mealtime, helping with homework, or planning fun activities, Kristy approaches every task with enthusiasm and care. You can trust Kristy to provide a positive and dependable babysitting experience for your children. She has experience in the field of education as well as a former kindergarten teacher!”

I have been a care giver for over 10 years now! CPR and blood pathogen certified. I know a good amount of sign and love teaching children new ways to communicate! I am a full time nanny in Chelsea for a toddler. I absolutely adore children and love being a part of little ones lives. Being conscious of everything I say, do, feel, and how I react is a large part of my curriculum and influencing young minds. I want to be a safe space for your child and can’t wait to meet you!

"UrbanSitter is my go-to for quality sitters! I can book weeks ahead of time or easily find a same-day sitter when in a bind. I even hired a part-time nanny during a daycare transition. Customer service is helpful and babysitters respond in a timely manner."
