About Carla

Experience: 8 yrs

Hello Families, :) I'm a second-year college student looking for my next family to be a part of. I have a passion for fostering a child's growth, development, language skills and most of all creating a safe space for children to thrive in. I have spent the last 8 years working with families & their children of various ages & needs. I have done lots of coursework in Early Childhood Education & I am currently working towards a degree in Elementary Education & Speech- Language Pathology. I believe my knowledge of this allows me to bring a thoughtful & creative approach to every interaction. I am patient, calm and respectful when it comes to household rules and communication preferences. Whether we are playing education games, solving puzzles or engaging in arts and crafts I love finding new ways to keep the kids curious and screen free!! I look forward to the possibility of becoming a trusted part of your family's daily life and helping your little one flourish

We feel incredibly lucky to have found Carla. She started caring for our daughter when she was 4 months old, and has been incredibly since day one. She is intuitive, nurturing, responsive, dependable, and always early! She takes initiative and somehow knows what she needs even before we do. She has a strong bond, while supporting her development and routines. I never worry about my baby missing me because she is so well cared for in her hands. She has truly become part of our family.
