Hi, I'm Kristin, and I have been working with children since early 2020. I am a teacher that loves working with kids, and strives to encourage them to be happy and healthy. I work hard to promote kindness, responsibility, and self-sufficiency. I am patient, warm, and engaging. I am also an academic wizard with an invested interest in any child's academic success. When I am with your child, I bring activities that take them away from screens. Save for dance parties; everyone should get a dance break at least once a day!
