About Karla

I absolutely love working with children. I graduated from the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) where I received my bachelor's degree in psychology and Italian. I am currently working on my master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and am projected to graduate in August 2024. I have a lot of experience working with children. I worked as a teacher assistant for 6 years in Illinois and was a nanny for several families. My most recent child care positions include: caring for a family of 3 boys after school, doing pick-ups and drop-offs for another family of 2 young boys, and a full time nanny position taking care of a young girl, while teaching her Italian. I am fluent in Spanish and can also help children with tutoring. I am comfortable working with children of all ages. I can help prepare meals, pick up and drop off at any activities, and help with homework. I love animals and am fine with pets.
