Hello! I’m a compassionate and dedicated postpartum caregiver with over 12 years of childcare experience, including extensive hands-on experience caring for newborns, infants, and multiples. My background includes early childhood development coursework, newborn care training, and CPR and First Aid certification. These experiences have deepened my passion for supporting mothers, babies, and families as they navigate the beautiful yet often overwhelming transition into life with a newborn. My approach to postpartum care is rooted in compassion, attentiveness, and the belief that caring for a newborn also means caring for the parents. I understand how important rest, recovery, emotional support, and reassurance are during the fourth trimester. My goal is to provide a calm, nurturing, and judgment-free environment where parents feel heard, supported, and confident. Whether that means tending to your newborn while you rest, assisting with feeding routines, offering overnight support, preparing light meals, or simply providing an extra set of helping hands, I strive to make the postpartum experience as peaceful and manageable as possible. With my extensive childcare and household management experience, I offer personalized support through newborn care, sibling care, and nanny services. I help families maintain daily routines while providing age-appropriate activities, meal preparation, laundry, bottle washing and sanitizing, home organization, errands, and general household assistance. My goal is to provide a warm, dependable presence that eases the transition of welcoming a new baby, allowing parents to rest, recover, bond, and enjoy this special season with peace of mind.

We had a wonderful experience with Christina. She was patient, flexible, communicative, enthusiastic, caring, and reliable. She blended seamlessly into our family, quickly understood our schedule and routines, and was always dependable. She found creative ways to engage our daughter and made their time together fun. Our daughter really liked her and felt comfortable with her. She was also attentive and confident with our baby. We would happily recommend her!

Christina is warm, thoughtful, responsible and was very interactive with our 9 year old daughter. Our daughter has been immunocompromised most of her life and Christina was great at taking her for physical therapy appointments, various doctor appointments, and even one time caring for her while hospitalized. She's a lovely human.

Christina is amazing at providing child care and mommy assistance. She was a tremendous help with my newborn baby. She is attentive, patient, and thorough. While providing care for my son, she was sure to follow my guidelines and ask clarifying questions to ensure she was meeting his needs to my liking. She always made sure he was comfortable and safe. Christina also was wonderful at helping me with household tasks that a freshly postpartum mom doesn’t want to be thinking about. Helping prep dinner, restocking the bathrooms, bringing laundry upstairs, etc. I appreciated her attention to detail as well as her positive attitude. Having Christina in my home always made the day better.

Christina was an amazing nanny! I was in the process of moving and had a gap of 3 weeks where I needed a temporary nanny. I wish I still lived in the Bay Area and that Christina could be my nanny. I chose Christina because I wanted someone that my girls would want to play with and have fun with, and as soon as they saw her the first time they ran to her, and that was that. You will be lucky to have Christina as your caregiver.

She brings warmth and structure to every day, creating a safe and joyful environment for our little one to thrive. Her thoughtful communication and proactive attitude have made a huge difference in our family’s routine. We feel truly lucky to have found her.

Christina worked with us and was an absolute delight to have her with us. She was always on time, very professional, approachable, and was proactive and…what we most loved: wonderful and adorable with our newborn. She connected very well and was very sweet with him. We would definitely hire Christina again and highly encourage other families to do so too without hesitation.

Christina is wonderful!! My seven year old daughter just adores her. She is kind, respectful and fun! We have had her watch our daughter three times now and my daughter is always excited when Christina is going to "hang out with her." Thank you Christina!!

I hired Christina to look after my 5 month old for a date night birthday party. We needed someone that was comfortable enough to watch her in our hotel suite while the party was down stairs. She was right on time, reassured me that the baby would be fine, and every time I came up to check on the baby, she was sound asleep. I felt so comfortable with her and will be using her again.

I reached out to Christina at the last minute to babysit over the weekend and she was available. My kids loved her. She showed up on time and was very active with the kids the entire time I was out. I will definitely use her again. Thanks

Christina is great! My schedule has been so crazy lately, and she's been very flexible. She even watched my one-and-a-half year old son when he was sick.
