Hi! My name is Christina and I’m a MBA student at Middle Tennessee State University, studying data science. I also have experience working with children. I used to babysit through SittingMadeSimple and helped out a family with an autistic child and loved watching videos and playing outdoors with him. I also volunteered at the Discovery Center and would help them with arts and craft and teach them about important figures in history. Before that, I looked after my younger brothers by taking them to and from school activities and making sure they were eating healthy meals. I enjoy working with children and want to help families in any way I can. I hope to connect with you soon!

Christina was fantastic with our baby girl—engaged, cheerful, and genuinely helpful!

Hi there! I am a very experienced caregiver, and I’m excited to meet you and your family! While I’ve lived in Nashville for a little over 10 years, I’m originally from East Cobb in Marietta, Georgia. During my senior year of high school in Georgia, I began long-term babysitting, thus beginning my career as an educator. Caring for children is without a doubt my passion in life, and I’ve been extremely blessed to serve as an educator in various facets over the past several years! I have served as a professional governess (emphasis on teaching and intellectual advancement) and as a nanny for a myriad of families, tutored Spanish and English to children, worked as an after-school program instructor, and co-taught as a preschool instructor for 3s, 4s and 5s. Prior to my current daytime position teaching middle school Spanish and coaching / managing travel of the upper school Speech Team at a local independent school, I served as a professional governess for a local family for 3 years, followed by teaching Spanish and music at a public middle school in Nashville. In addition to childcare, I am also passionate about neuroscience, genetics, multilingualism, music, and international travel! In 2008, I obtained a Bachelor of Science in Psychology degree with a minor in Spanish from Kennesaw State University. Following graduation, I continued taking collegiate coursework in medical sciences, Child Life and Spanish. During the first year of our worldwide COVID pandemic, I completed my Master of Education in Instructional Practice at Lipscomb University in Nashville. Currently, I am not averse to obtaining another advanced degree as well, will likely be medically-affiliated! In my spare time, I enjoy hanging out with my pup, domestic & international travel, tutoring children, spending time with community, playing ultimate frisbee, running, singing/playing piano, reading, and engaging in thousand-piece puzzles, NYT word games and general brain teasers. I genuinely care about every child I encounter, & I understand that every experience with children is an opportunity to foster young minds & hearts! Please feel free to reach out if I can be of assistance to your family, happy to help!
