Hi, my name is Crystal! I have a bachelor’s degree in Developmental Psychology and am currently pursuing a master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. Childcare has been my primary profession for the past 10+ years. I have experience with children of all ages. I am CPR/First Aid certified. I make a great sitter because I am very observant of each child’s individual needs. I make a great sitter because I am very observant of each child’s individual needs. I have found that positive reinforcement is often the most effective approach. I am warm, energetic, creative, and pay great attention to detail. Kids always love how silly I am with them, and I make sure that we have a great time. Despite my playful approach, I make sure children follow their parents’ rules and expectations.

Hi! I currently work full-time in higher education as a college counselor, but have extensive experience in childcare as a full-time nanny & part-time sitter as well as teacher for younger students. I used to direct an After School Program (at SPCC) for school-aged children, K-5, and taught English (ESL) to high school students. I personally love working with kids as it's a great way to get to know my community and have fun with cool & interesting wee ones! I have references and my rates are negotiable. During the summer, I have a flexible schedule with may allow additional hours. Most evenings & almost all weekends are wide open. Please reach out with any questions!

Alex was so thorough and absolutely incredible with my daughter Charlotte. Couldn’t recommend her more.
