About Karina
Experience: 10 yrs
Greetings! My name is Karina, and I have had the pleasure of working with children for over two decades. As a mother of a 18-year-old and a former preschool teacher, I transitioned to private childcare to dedicate more of my time to this rewarding field. I firmly believe that play-based learning is the most effective approach, fostering language development, problem-solving abilities, and social skills, while also nurturing self-discovery and an understanding of the world around us. In my free time, I enjoy reading, dancing, baking, painting, and exploring nature. Furthermore, I am an avid animal lover, sharing my home with three dogs and two parakeets.
Most recent review
Karina was FAN–TASTIC with my 3-year-old daughter. My daughter is often shy around new people but she took to Karina immediately. She actively engaged my daughter in so many ways—helping my daughter rediscover the fun in the toys and games that have been sitting at the bottom of her toy box for months, reading book after book after book, very enthusiastically participated in dramatic play (my daughter loves cooking at her mini kitchen, going shopping with her little Target shopping cart, etc.), doodling a million different beautiful little drawings as demanded *ahem* I mean, politely requested, by my daughter, and going out for walks when the weather was nice out. Allllll this to the extensive discography of Taylor Swift playing in the background for HOURS (my kid is a fierce Taylor tot). Karina did all of this NON. STOP. the whole six hours she spent with my daughter. Anyway, if you’re reading this, stop now and just hire Karina.
