About Kristen

Experience: 10 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

Hi families, my name is Kristen, and I am a seasoned nanny ready to help you with your young children. I have extensive experience caring for children of all ages, as well as with families of multiples(most recently with toddler twins), and children with special needs. I am an older nanny I suppose, but do not let my age deter you, as I have a lot of energy, am very expressive/animated, and enjoy finding fun plus educational places to take my charges. I have a passion for music, arts and crafts, nature, sports, and reading. I am excited to share these interests with your children, and even have a nanny bag full of art supplies and books that I like to share with my new littles. I also have over 5 years experience working as a medical assistant, most recently in pediatrics. I am college educated, reliable, creative, loving, and fun. I have excellent references, a reliable car, and live in West Hartford. I look forward to meeting you and your family soon!

Kristen joined our family last summer and took over care of our 5-month-old son, G. She has been a wonderful addition to our family. G. adores her and they have great fun together every day. He immediately smiles as she walks through the door and greets him. She's patient with our little guy, and importantly she seems to really love the job. Kristen has been a tremendous help to our family in shaping G's development through his first year. Kristen immediately noted that G was an extrovert and helped us find programs to get him involved in. He loves his weekly music classes, trips to the library, and local parks. Kristen has extensive experience and was very valuable to us as first-time parents. She is respectful of our parenting preferences and is very easy to work with. Kristen is on time every day and has been very dependable which is a huge asset to working parents. She has been reliable and safe when transporting him in her vehicle to his activities. We trust her with our most precious cargo. G is now ready for more of a school setting, and we are sad to see Kristen leave us during this transition but know she will always be a part of our family. We would love to see her become a part of your family too.
