About Karina

Experience: 3 yrs

Hello it's Karina I am 26 years old, and I have over three years of experience working with children from newborns to 7 years old, including those with autism. This experience, along with my background in psychology studies in Mexico, has given me a strong understanding of child development I am about to begin studying psychology at Cabrillo College, with the goal of specializing in the development of children with special needs. I'm a sweet, caring, fun, creative, and very cheerful person qualities that help me easily connect with children. I enjoy playing, doing crafts, and stimulating creativity through educational and recreational activities I'm also respectful and kind, always committed to the well-being of the children in my care. I have my own car, which allows me to provide safe and reliable transportation If you're looking for a loving, trustworthy, and responsible, I would be honored to become part of your family and care for your children with great affection and dedication

Kari is a must hire. She’s been helping my family (toddler and 3 month old) since July 2024. She is caring, loving, firm with boundaries, respectful, bilingual, efficient, and definitely a terrific mother’s helper and nanny. Not only does she have glowing reviews, but a wonderful can do attitude and personality. My toddler adores her and it gives me confidence to go to the gym, do other chores, go on a date night, you name it. She helps with feeding, food prep, cleaning, bath time, putting the girls to bed, sanitizing toys, folding laundry, and teaching the girls Spanish. She is more than just a nanny she is truly a trusted family member. If you are considering a nanny look no further, she is a perfect choice.
