This is the background check we require for all caregivers.
Experience: 1 yr
In 2022, my mother was suddenly diagnosed with metastatic pancreatic cancer. I quit my 30 year career as a preschool teacher to be her caregiver. I have worked as a professional artist and writer. I have also begun to live out my life-long dream of homesteading, and have a flock of chickens and ducks that I raise for eggs. As a teacher, I was an expert in learning through play and in appropriate behavior modification strategies. I avoid screen-time when caring for children and prefer age appropriate books, games, art activities, science projects, outdoor play and free play. so Baby sitter available.

There is no one more caring and competent in working with developing young children. Kristi enjoys her time with my children and is always present in their care. I also watch the way she is with her children which impacted and inspired my own way of raising my own children. I wish I was better at writing reviews, she deserves one well written for her. Just know this…your children will be safe, protected and nurtured by her.
