About Kari

Experience: 12 yrs

Nurturing children has always been a passion of mine. For the past 17 years, I have dedicated myself to fostering their growth and development, and I am eager to bring my experience to your family. My graduate-level education and certification as a teacher have equipped me with the skills to create engaging and educational experiences for your child. I am patient, calm, creative, and friendly. I enjoy playing board games, puzzles, and educational apps. I am very comfortable enforcing household rules. I will provide regular updates via text or phone call, and I am happy to follow your preferred communication method. I am comfortable caring for one child at a time. I am also willing to help with cooking and meal preparation, light housekeeping, and swimming supervision. I am CPR and First Aid trained.

We feel beyond lucky to have found Kari through Care.com! From the moment we met her, it was clear that she has a natural gift for caregiving. As a mother herself, Kari brings a deep sense of understanding, patience, and genuine love to her work that sets her apart from anyone we’ve ever hired. Kari is incredibly dependable, nurturing, and attentive to every detail. She quickly built a warm and trusting relationship with our children, making them feel safe, seen, and celebrated every single day. Her calm, confident demeanor reassured us from the start, and her ability to juggle multiple needs with grace is nothing short of amazing. What stands out most is how much Kari truly cares. She doesn’t just “watch” children—she engages with them, nurtures their growth, and shows up with kindness, creativity, and consistency. Her humor is infectious & always brightened up our home. She’s the kind of caregiver who goes above and beyond without ever being asked. We can’t recommend Kari highly enough. She’s been a blessing to our family, and any family would be incredibly fortunate to have her care for their loved ones!
