Christi Sierraville
$35 per hour for 1 child

I’m a warm, fun, dependable, and creative caregiver with experience supporting children, families, pets, and households. I genuinely love working with toddlers and young children and enjoy creating fun, hands-on activities that keep kids engaged, learning, and happy. I often bring crafts, sensory projects, books, games, and creative activities to encourage imagination and development. I’m patient, calm, organized, and attentive to each child’s unique personality and needs. I believe in creating a safe, supportive, and positive environment where children feel comfortable, cared for, and encouraged to be themselves. I’m also happy to help with routines, homework, meal prep, bedtime, light housekeeping, laundry, errands, pet care, and keeping the household running smoothly. My experience in hospitality and business ownership has also made me highly reliable, communicative, adaptable, and detail-oriented. Families can count on me to be nurturing, trustworthy, and fully present while ensuring their children are safe, active, and well cared for.

I raised two wonderful humans to adulthood, and have been teaching high school English for 15 years while earning numerous awards and commendations. I also come trained as a first responder through 15 years of experience with Search and Rescue which includes certification as EMR (including First Aid, CPR, and AED for infants through adults) as well as numerous awards and commendations. I volunteered for 10 years in the youth program at my church (Calvary Chapel, Reno/Sparks), worked as the lead teacher of the school-age summer program at Little Knights and Maidens, led the youth program at my local library for many years, and led my own children through myriad sports and activities (soccer, dance, 4H, Scouts, etc). As my own children are recently off to college, I find myself with more time on my hands, and I would love to serve my community while making some extra tuition money for my own kids. Tutoring of course can be included in the services listed.
