About Christine
Hi! My name is Christine. I'm the oldest of five children, with a mother who is a Labor & Delivery RN — so I've grown up being taught how to care for children from a very young age. I have over 10 years of professional childcare experience working as a nanny, family assistant, children's art class assistant, and babysitter.
I'm TrustLine certified, CPR & First Aid trained, and am college educated. Growing up as the oldest of five, I often called myself a built-in babysitter — helping care for my younger siblings was simply part of daily life. That foundation has shaped the kind of caregiver I've become: a firm but loving big sister figure. Many of my nanny families would tell you I step naturally into that role for their children too.
I served as Sunday School teacher at my church for three years. I love reading, writing, and music — and I share those things with every child I care for. Pet-friendly, valid driver's license, fully vaccinated (immunization records available on request), overnights available, and open to occasional, part-time, or full-time work.
"Christine is absolutely amazing with my two toddlers. She really knows how to keep kids engaged — had a dance party, played with blocks, read books, and got my kids to sleep. My daughter woke up the next morning asking where she was."
— Adriena, UrbanSitter · Letter of Recommendation on file

What Families Say
"Five stars."

"Five stars."
"We hired Chidinma after another sitter bailed last minute. She was super responsive, kept us informed with texts and pictures, and did such an amazing job with our 2 year old. He enjoyed spending the day with her so much. We'd hire her again in a heartbeat!"
"Christine / Chidinma was a great find. We needed last minute help with our 5 year old — it's difficult for a stranger to hold his attention, but Chidinma sat on the floor and built legos, cars, and whatever else grabbed his attention. Just what we needed! She is a recommend!"
"Chidinma did a fantastic job watching two infants during a Napa college reunion — took great notes and great care. We would work with her again in a heartbeat!"
"Christine is absolutely amazing with my two toddlers (ages 21 months and 3). She really knows how to keep kids engaged — had a dance party, played with blocks, read books, and got my kids to sleep. My daughter woke up asking where she was the next morning."
"Chidinma took such great care of my twins! It was our first time leaving them with someone they didn't know and they warmed up to her pretty quickly. She knew exactly what they needed at every moment!"
"Christine was great with our 2 month old. When she arrived and held our girl she almost immediately stopped crying. She's also very flexible and would definitely book her again."
"My 2.5 year old twin boys loved Christine; they still ask when she will be back. She was friendly, fun and engaging — but even better, she kept to our schedule and made sure they had a good routine! We will definitely use her again!"
"Christine looked after our 1 year old every day from 9–5 for the last month. She is very calm and confident and was great with our son who can be very fussy! They hit it off really quickly and I felt completely at ease. We will definitely have her back!"
"Christine was wonderful with our 13 month old son. She was very attentive and when I returned home he didn't even seem to care I was back — he was having such a nice time. She is friendly, kind and seems to have lots of experience with kids."
"Christine was great — arrived on time, asked the right questions, and got straight to work playing with our son. He warmed up quickly and soon was having a great time. They took a trip to the park and she stayed late to help clean up his toys."
"Christine was available on super short notice to watch my baby (6 months old). She was very comfortable with him, kept him happy and rested over 7 hours."
"Chidinma stayed with the baby at our hotel in Sonoma so my husband and I could enjoy a date night. Our son was going through 'stranger danger' but Chidinma engaged with him immediately and he was utterly smitten. We wish you lived closer!"
