Hey there! I'm a mom of three (16, 14, and 4) and I've been doing childcare for ages, so I'm totally comfortable with kids of all ages. I love doing arts and crafts, going for walks, playing at the park, reading stories, dancing, and singing with them. I'm fluent in both English and Spanish. I'm also happy to help with light housework like laundry, dishes, grocery shopping, tidying up after the kids, school pickups, and taking them to activities. Plus, I've worked with kids with ASD and I'm good with pets. I'm a really nurturing and caring person, and usually available on short notice.
Karina took care of our almost 2YO for a morning. She was such a gentle, calming force. Our little guy is going through a phase of hysterical fits of resistance to new caregivers and Karina calmed him down almost immediately; she had great instincts for making him comfortable. Within a few minutes, our little one's tears stopped, she worked up to playing trains with him inside, and eventually took him on a walk ending ar our local park. In addition to being great with our kiddo, she was kind, on-time, and a good communicator with us, including sending pictures throughout the morning, so we could see that our little man was all smiles. Will definitely book Karina again!
