About Karina

Experience: 10 yrs

AS OF 2/14/24: I am not looking for work as I'm a full time employee elsewhere. AS OF 5/4/26: I am still a full time employee elsewhere but am looking to work part time on either Mondays or Tuesdays. Feel free to message me! :) I love to teach the children new things, do crafts, explore outside with them and most of all create amazing bonds. I do really love taking care of children/child and making memories with. I truly would appreciate if you choose me to watch your kid or kids. I want to be able to provide parents with comfort and security of having someone trustworthy watching their little ones. For the last two years I have been working in a Residential Program that specializes in mental health such as; trauma, emotional distress, and behavioral challenges as a Charge Staff and I work with multiple clients between the ages of 8 and 18 years old.

Karina has worked with our family for the past six months taking incredible care of our daughter in that time. Our daughter quickly bonded with her, and their relationship continued to grow through all they did together each day, whether that was spending time outside, reading books, playing with toys, or chasing our cats around the house. Karina is great at keeping baby on a schedule and has experience bottle feeding as well as feeding solids. She also did light housework for us such as washing up baby related dishes and folding/putting away baby laundry as needed. I work from home so got to know Karina over the past few months and I know she views this work as so much more than just a job. She doesn’t just clock in and clock out, she deeply cares not only for the kids she cares for, but for the families she works with, doing whatever you ask of her to make life a little easier with a little one. One of the things I will always treasure about Karina is when I learned she would sing our daughter to sleep. I happened to catch it one day and to know that someone cared so much about our daughter to hold her and sing to her to help her settle down to rest was very endearing. Overall, she is a good person, someone our family has come to trust and rely on, and who I know we will continue to turn to if we ever have childcare needs. We made the incredibly difficult decision to put our daughter into full time childcare when a spot opened up and it was getting more challenging to balance working from home with a very active 10 month old on the days Karina was working with other families. Letting her go is not easy, but our family hopes she can find another family to work with who she can have just as much of an impact on. If you have any other questions for us, please feel free to ask Karina for our number. - Ryan & Emily
