About Kristen

I have two children of my own ages 23&14. I grew as a mother after a 10 year career as a Family Recovery support specialist. I provided parents with classes and 1 on 1 counseling on healthy parenting. I apply these skills to my own parenting practicing patients, and a non punitive approach to discipline. I believe finding ways to have children learn from mistakes is key to parenting&childcare. My experience as a child care professional started at age 14 when I took the babysitting course. As a professional family case worker I would teach parenting techniques with the family as to find ways to implement the new techniques taught. I have been certified in first aide/CPR and I am Covid vaccinated. I believe children need time outside, lots of physical activity, and love to thrive! After many years of experience with caring for people young, older, sick to healthy there are a few common needs. The need to be punctual, caring, honest communication, and a passion to serve!
