Background: I am currently pursuing my Master of Social Work at the University of Central Florida after graduating from Florida State University. Caring for children has always been one of my greatest passions. As the oldest of five siblings, I have helped care for and raise each of my younger siblings from a young age. That experience naturally led me to begin babysitting for other families when I was 13 years old, and I've loved working with children ever since. Over the years, I have cared for children of all ages and have experience working with children who have autism and ADHD. I also understand that every family has its own parenting style, and I am comfortable following a variety of household routines and expectations, including screen-free and no-sugar lifestyles. My goal is always to provide care that aligns with each family's values while creating a fun, safe, and nurturing environment for their children. Through both my childcare experience and my graduate studies, I have developed a strong understanding of child development, emotional well-being, and positive behavior support. I strive to make every child feel valued, loved, and encouraged while giving parents peace of mind knowing their children are in caring, dependable hands. Whether we're reading stories, playing outside, doing crafts, or simply spending quality time together, I love creating meaningful experiences that help children learn, grow, and have fun. I feel incredibly grateful for the opportunity to support families and can't wait to get to know yours!

Future plans: Over the next 5–10 years, I hope to accomplish some of my biggest personal and professional goals. I'll be getting married next year, and I'm so excited to begin that new chapter of my life! After graduating with my Master of Social Work, I plan to become a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and pursue a career as a pediatric medical social worker. I have always been passionate about supporting children and families, and I hope to make a meaningful difference by helping them navigate difficult times with compassion and encouragement. No matter where life takes me, I know that working with children will always hold a special place in my heart.
When she’s not babysitting: I love to snuggle my kitties, read books, and spend time with my family and friends!

“She is naturally exceptional with my son, she’s so warm, patient, remarkably attentive, and consistently present. Around my son Krislyn immediately puts him at ease with a gentle and sweet demeanor while bringing high energy, creativity, and enthusiasm to every single interaction. Rather than relying on screens, she actively engages my son through creative play, outdoor activities, reading, and problem solving, making my son feel both safe and heard. What makes Krislyn outstanding is her incredible level of reliability, maturity, and proactive judgment! Safety and clear communication are always top priorities for her, giving me a complete peace of mind whenever she is with my son. She remains exceptionally calm under pressure, adapts effortlessly to different age groups, and can naturally step up to handle responsibilities without needing to be asked. ”
“She is one of the most reliable, friendly women we have ever met. When she watches our girls we know she will be on time, the girls will be well cared for and entertained and my house will not be a disaster when we come home. We have a yearly tradition where she actually takes the girls to pick out their first day of school outfits while my husband and I enjoy a kid free afternoon out! ”
