Hi! My name is Kristine, and I have been working with children since age 12. For over 13 years, I worked in daycare/pre-school with the majority of that being in Montessori. I also ran daycare out of my home for 9 years. For the past 3 years, I have been working for the Woodstock 200 School District as a paraprofessional/ associate with the majority of that being in an elementary SPED setting. I am also a wife and mom of 2. I am very responsible, patient, reliable, caring, and trustworthy. I truly enjoy being around children and hope to babysit for you soon! π

Hi families! ππΎ Iβm Tamaryce (Tammy for the littles) and caring for kids has been such a huge part of my life for over 10 years !Iβve worked with children from newborn through elementary age in schools, autism support settings, summer programs, and as a nanny, supporting both neurodivergent and neurotypical children. Through all of those experiences, one thing has stayed the same: I genuinely love getting to know each child for who they are and helping them feel safe, confident, and excited to learn.I believe childhood should feel joyful, supportive, and full of opportunities to explore. I love creating fun days that mix learning and play β whether that means arts and crafts, STEM projects, reading together, imaginative play, dance parties, sensory activities, outdoor time, or turning everyday moments into something special. Music is a big part of my personality too, so donβt be surprised if thereβs always a playlist going, a mini dance break, or a little singalong happening throughout the day π΅π My background in special education and autism support taught me how to meet children where they are, support emotional regulation, encourage independence, and celebrate progress in ways that feel meaningful to each child. I especially enjoy sensory-based activities and creating calm, engaging environments where children can feel comfortable being themselves.Parents often describe me as patient, energetic, dependable, and easy to talk to, but I hope the children I work with remember me as someone who really sees them, makes them laugh, listened to them, and made them feel important.One of my favorite parts of childcare is watching children build confidence and seeing their personalities come alive. My goal is always that your child feels excited when they see me walk through the door β and that you feel completely comfortable knowing theyβre cared for, supported, and having fun while theyβre with me β¨
