About Karla

Experience: 16 yrs

Bringing joy and nurturing care to children is my passion. For 16 years, I've dedicated myself to fostering a positive impact on young lives and supporting families. My approach is patient, calm, creative, and friendly. I have some college education. I am very comfortable enforcing household rules. I enjoy playing outdoor sports, board games, and educational games with children. I am comfortable caring for one child at a time. I provide regular updates to parents via their preferred method, including verbal communication, text, or phone calls. I am also happy to help with cooking, light housekeeping, and travel. I am CPR and First Aid certified. My goal is to make each day a happy and enriching experience for your child, and I look forward to the opportunity to connect with you!

I cannot recommend Karla highly enough. She was with our family for two years, during a very important stage in my daughter’s development, and the impact she left is something that continues to this day. My daughter, who is now eight years old, still remembers her fondly and often talks about the lessons, the fun, and the encouragement she received from her. What stood out most was her dedication and thoroughness in everything she did. She never approached learning with a one-size-fits-all mindset. Instead, she introduced creative, thoughtful, and varied techniques to ensure that my daughter not only understood what she was learning but also enjoyed the process. She found ways to make even challenging subjects approachable and engaging, which built my daughter’s confidence tremendously. Beyond her skill as a tutor, she was an incredible caregiver. Trustworthiness is one of the most important qualities a parent looks for, and I always had complete peace of mind knowing my daughter was with her. She is responsible, dependable, and always went above and beyond to meet our family’s needs. Whether it was being flexible with schedules, adapting to my daughter’s moods and learning pace, or simply bringing joy into our home, she did it all with grace and reliability. Her positive influence on my daughter’s education and personal growth has been profound. The foundation she helped build continues to benefit my daughter academically and emotionally, and for that, we are deeply grateful. She is truly a remarkable person—kind, patient, talented, and committed—and any family would be incredibly fortunate to have her in their child’s life.
