Booked by 1 family in Waterford, VA

Hi there! I’m Kristina — the oldest of my siblings and naturally the “big sister” type. I’m 16 years older than my youngest siblings, so caring for kids has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Over the years, I’ve also cared for my coworkers’ little ones and even my elderly grandfather, which taught me patience, responsibility, and compassion. I currently serve on both the Kids Team and Youth Team at my church, working with children from just a few weeks old up to 17 years old. I truly love helping kids grow, learn, and feel seen. I believe every child deserves someone who shows integrity, kindness, and care — and I strive to be that person in every interaction.

“Kristina was a great sitter! She arrived exactly on time, and was considerate and patient with my toddler who has a speech delay.”

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
