About Carla
Experience: 3 yrs
Nurturing young minds is more than a job for me--it's something I truly love. I'm a premed student at the University of Florida working toward my CNA license, and I have over three years of experience caring for children of all ages. I've also tutored kids from kindergarten through 6th grade in all subjects, which has taught me patience, creativity, and how to make learning fun. I'm an artist who enjoys sharing creativity through drawing, painting, and crafts, encouraging kids to express themselves while learning. I value open communication with parents and always provide updates, while also confidently enforcing household rules to maintain structure. I'm CPR and First Aid certified, comfortable with pets, and have my own car. With my calm, dependable, and friendly energy, I hope to create a safe, fun, and inspiring environment where children can thrive both in play and in learning.
Most recent review
We were so lucky to have Carla care for our two toddlers (ages 3 and 4) every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday for the past year. She was always dependable, punctual, and incredibly patient. Both of our kids grew very attached to her, and she created a safe, fun, and structured environment that made weekends so much smoother for our family. She engaged the kids with creative play, helped with meals and bedtime routines, and even shared updates and photos to keep us reassured while we were away. Her calm personality gave us complete peace of mind knowing our little ones were in great hands. We highly recommend Carla to any family looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and experienced. She is a bright young lady and we’re so grateful for the love and consistency she’s brought into our children’s lives.
