Experience: 6 yrs
As a certified teacher with four years of childcare experience, I thrive in nurturing environments where I can positively impact children's lives. My passion for childcare stems from my previous babysitting roles, which instilled in me a desire to support families by providing reliable and high-quality care for their children. I am known for my calm and patient demeanor, which allows me to handle challenging situations with composure. I believe in fostering a creative and imaginative atmosphere where children can explore and learn through play. I enjoy engaging in various activities with children, including outdoor sports, physical games, board games, and puzzles. When communicating with parents, I prioritize open and transparent communication. I follow their preferred communication method to ensure that they are well-informed about their child's day and any issues that may arise.
Karelis was our nanny for the last two years in the SF Marina. She started with our daughter at 4 months old and saw her all the way through starting preschool. She is super knowledgable about all activities (which parks, playgrounds, museums, etc.) and highly engaged with our child -- we never worried when our daughter was with her. We so appreciate the bond they developed and credit Karelis with our daughter being so confident that she is lovable and important. Karelis cooked, cleaned, did overnights, and traveled and was easily integrated into our family. We already miss her dearly.
