Employer comments

Kirsten is amazing with kids and is a no nonsense person that follows rules and implement the rules you have set for your family and kids. She knows what she wants and has a great personality that rubs off on anyone.... my kids loved her and even missed her when she went away for 2 weeks to graduate. Young kids can really learn a lot from her as she is young and want to conquer the world.

Employer comments

Kirsten is absolutely great with children; she is extremely patient but firm. She often goes out of her way tackling other chores in the home that is not in her job description, always going the extra mile. She is also very creative in keeping Dre, my daughter, busy and learning new things. Where she struggles with a certain challenge, she takes the time to gather information and educate herself on how to tackle the matter. Dre was extremely fussy when it came to eating her food, this all changed when Kirsten found creative ways for her to eat her food.
