Hello, my name is Jamie Criscione, I have known Christina for 17 years and have worked with Desert Super Sitters for 7 years. I am currently working part-time for the Palm Springs Unified School District as a preschool teacher. I have been employed there for the past five years. In addition to working for the District, I have been working for Desert Super Sitters for about five years as well.
While working for the agency, I love meeting new families and the children I am so fortunate to work with. With Desert Super Sitters, I have worked for events like the Marine Ball, several weddings, along with hotel and home sits. I have watched children as young as a few weeks old up to children junior high. In addition to working, I am also a wife and have been married for 12 years and a mom to a little boy who is about to turn 6. In all, I have worked with children for the past 19 years. Within those 19 years, I have gained a great deal of experience working with children of all ages.
For 8 years I worked for the Long Beach Unified School district as a teacher's aide for grades kindergarten through fifth. While working for the district, I attended a local Community College and received my A.A. In Liberal Arts. My husband and I decided to move out to the desert in 2006. I then began working at a daycare/preschool where I worked with infants. I fell in love with the babies in my class that I decided to move up to the next room with them and became the lead teacher in the 2's/3's classroom. Within the time I worked at the daycare, I decided to go back to college and started taking classes in early childhood development and now presently hold over 40 units. I truly enjoy working with children they are such a joy to be around.
My goal while working with each child is to create a fun and safe learning environment.
Pleasure to meet you
