Meet Miss Kristen!
I can't wait to be your mentor through your Baby Signs® journey!
​
I am an elementary school teacher with a Bachelor's of Art in Education. I have a passion for working with families and helping them connect with their children. Most importantly I am a mother. I have 2 beautiful children (ages 8 and 5) that share in our family adventures. When I am not mentoring families or teaching, I can be found with my family camping, kayaking, leading my daughter's Girl Scout troop or hanging out at the beach.
My Baby Signs® adventure started with my oldest who we began using the Baby Signs® Program with. We knew with our second, we were going to use signing as well! We used it not only boost their communication skills, but to build a life-long connection of open communication. As a family we immediately fell in love with the program and we called it one of the "game changers" of the parenting tools we learned!
As a parent or caregiver, I know how important building relationships and having the tools, mentors and resources available to do just that are. I hope that you will welcome me into you and your child's life as you unlock the tools needed to communicate with your child, even before your child can talk!

About the Baby Signs® Program
There's no more guesswork when your baby uses signs!
​
Babies have a lot to say even before they can actually speak. With the Baby Signs® Program, babies and toddlers can communicate–using simple, easy-to-learn signs–what they see, what they need and even how they feel!
​
Over two decades of scientific research, much of it funded by the National Institutes of Health, has shown that the Baby Signs® Program will:
​
-
make you and your baby happier
-
help your baby feel more confident
-
help your baby learn to talk sooner
-
boost your baby’s intellectual development
