Kristine $18 per hour for 1 child

I have provided child care before, during and after graduating from Meredith College, I stayed home and homeschooled my own 2 children who are now 16.5, daughter, and 22, son. My daughter would love to come with me and play and snuggle too. When my children were young, I cared for several single Moms' kids and a couple of other families. As they grew older, I found a data entry job and real estate from home. I miss having time with little ones and would love to provide occasional care for others. I am a former lifeguard and have had my CPR recertified a few times over the years that included infants as well. My daughter and I also provided senior care to my 2 parents for the last 3+ years. I can provide transportation to shops, take out to lunch, provide activities, and accompany them to Dr appointments. I know how hard it is to find people one can trust and would love to help others after being blessed with having found amazing help. References are available!

I am a compassionate, patient, and attentive individual who understands the unique needs of children. My ability to communicate effectively, provide a safe and nurturing environment, and engage kids in meaningful, age-appropriate activities makes me an excellent caregiver. Additionally, my reliability, adaptability, and commitment to fostering their growth and development ensure that children feel supported and cared for in my presence. I love children and have worked managing a children’s museum that was very hands on with child care. Im currently finishing my Masters degree in education to be an elementary teacher.

Hello! I am friendly, reliable, and punctual. I love working with kids and also pets such as dogs and cats. I have years of experience engaging with little ones while being patient, attentive, and organized. I always ensure your child's safety comes first while also having lots of fun and learning new things. Please reach out if you think I could be a great fit for your family :)

Abby was more than wonderful! We booked her last minute to help support with my nephew. Even with uncertain weather, Abby not only showed up but showed out. She was punctual, dependable and my nephew Kam couldn't wait for her to come back the next day. They did crafts together and we were impressed with the way she maintained routine even though she was new to all instructions. Absolutely recommend Abby!
