Hi! I'm currently a college student majoring in psychology with aspirations for nursing school! At present, I have no idea exactly what I would like to specialize in, but I have a feeling it will ultimately be in pediatrics. I've spent most of my life working with children, be it as a general babysitter, a nanny, a peer mentor, a tutor, a lifeguard, or a camp counselor at a sleep away camp for several years. I love getting to know kids and helping them foster their interests and creativity, as well as teaching them to think out of the box! In my free time I love to go on hikes, play guitar, and most importantly I love to teach myself new things! I'm looking forward to working with you and your family.

Very helpful and great attitude and pleasant demeanor

Hello! I'm Kirstie, and I bring over 10 years of comprehensive babysitting experience. During grad school, I was a night nanny for premature twins, which honed my skills in providing specialized care. I have also had the pleasure of traveling with families, ensuring smooth and enjoyable trips for both parents and children. Additionally, I have confidently managed solo childcare for up to four days at a time, showcasing my reliability and trustworthiness. My four years working at an overnight summer camp have equipped me with a diverse set of skills to engage children in fun, educational, and safe activities. I am comfortable driving children and adept at handling various responsibilities, whether it's part-time, full-time, or occasional babysitting. My goal is to create a nurturing and positive environment for your children, making their well-being my top priority. I look forward to the opportunity to support your family and meet your childcare needs!
