Hello, My names Christina I’m reaching out in response to your need for a babysitter for your children. I am a retired RN. After retiring from nursing, I decided to return to my first passion, childcare. I began caring for children at the age of ten and have never stopped, I love all children. There is nothing more beautiful than the sound of a child's laughter. As a caregiver, I will provide a safe and stimulating environment for your child. In addition to being certified in CPR and first aid, I have also been educated regarding stages of child development. My lifestyle does not include smoking, vaping, or drinking alcohol. The presence of pets is fine with me, and I have my own vehicle. My undivided attention will be given to your children while I am with them; you will not find me on my cell phone. Upon request, I am willing to provide copies of a recent comprehensive background check and references. You can be confident that I will give your children the level of care and attention they need to grow and thrive. It would be my pleasure to discuss how I might be able to assist your family. You are welcome to contact me at your earliest convenience. If you would like to speak with me. Your consideration is greatly appreciated, Christina.

Hello there, thank you for taking to time to look into me as a potential caregiver! A little bit about me: I am a nanny/ babysitter splitting my time between New Orleans and the Bay Area. I am certified in Pediatric First Aid and CPR. I received my diploma in massage therapy and health education from the National Holistic Institute in 2012. I'm a local musician, and enjoy dancing, skateboarding, and hiking in my free time. I started my childcare career when I was 19 years old in 2011, as an Au pair in Oxford, England. There, I lived with a with a wonderful family and cared for their daughter who was 3 years old. My responsibilities included childcare 30-40 hours a week, organizing and structuring stimulating and engaging activities, chores, errands and light housework. This family became very special to me as I lived with and worked for them. After massage school, I found my way back to caring for children with babysitting and had a client base of 30+ families in California before moving to Nola. I love them all dearly and can't believe how fast they grow! I have experience with newborns all the way to 15 years old. Nannying has given me the chance to make lifelong friendship and family bonds with so many beautiful people all these years; something that I truly treasure. I would love to learn more about you, your family and your unique needs. Looking forward to meeting you!

Amethyst was fantastic with our daughter. We will definitely use her as a sitter again!
