Yesslin $20 per hour for 1 child

My name is Cristal, and I’m a college student working at a private Montessori school. With five years of experience as a childcare provider, I’ve developed a deep passion for nurturing young minds and creating a safe, supportive environment where children can grow and thrive. I enjoy engaging kids in hands-on learning, sharing my curiosity for nature, science, and creative problem-solving. I’m patient, creative, and friendly, which helps me connect with children on a personal level, making their time with me enjoyable and educational. I’ve babysat for family, worked in daycares, and gained school experience, along with certifications in CPR, stress management, and trauma support. I love activities that spark imagination, from outdoor adventures to puzzles and board games. Though my schedule is best suited for weekends, I’m flexible and strive to meet your needs. I look forward to the chance to build a meaningful relationship with you and your children!
