About Christina
Experience: 6 yrs
I am currently saving up money to go to The University of Iowa, to get my teaching degree in English Education so that I can hopefully one day be a middle school English teacher and volleyball coach! I am a very active, positive, and patient person and I have a lot of experience taking care of children anywhere from 3 months and up. I worked at the highest ranked daycare in Lawrence, Kansas (Stepping Stones Daycare) as a teacher for children between the ages of 1 and 6 years old. I also used to be a swim instructor at Mid West Aquatics where I taught children 18 months and up to swim, so I am CPR certified. I have tons of experience nannying and babysitting as well. Before college, I was a nanny for a family with 3 children ages 4 months, 3 years, and 5 years. I was responsible for taking care of the baby; while also looking after the 3-year-old and 5-year-old by making them meals and making sure they had fun too!

Christina was a great babysitter. She was always on time, very energetic, and playful. At the time she was taking care of our children ages 5, 3, and 3 months old. Christina did very well with our 3-month-old baby, she watched more than the older children, she paid attention to the details and did all that I had asked her to do, like writing down the baby's feeding and amount and kind of diapers, followed schedule and paid close attention to how I wanted the baby put to sleep, and fed. The older kids loved her playfulness, she played a lot of games and kept the kids active. I could keep going about how great Christina was for our family.
