Experience: 10 yrs
I have been around children my entire life as I started babysitting at age 12. I am a devoted Aunt to nine nieces and nephews whom I have cared for like a Mother. I once watched five of them for an entire week from ages 18 months to 14 years old. I have experience with infants to teenagers. I taught children in the Creative Arts for many years from toddlers to young adults including classes and summer camps. I was an actress, singer, dancer, choreographer for many years so I bring my creativity when caring for children. I enjoy cooking, baking, crafts, books, movies, sports and live theater. I am fun, outgoing, reliable, dependable, trustworthy and very loving. I live in the heart of Andersonville and have a reliable car with an excellent driving record. I would be delighted to care for your precious Angels.
We hired Karin for a few months earlier this year to help care for our infant son and she was a tremendous asset to our household! As first time parents we were certainly apprehensive about hiring a caregiver, but Karin was very gracious and understanding in our preferences and she offered great suggestions on nursing, feeding and tummy time. During playtime she sang lullabies, read books and really took the time to nurture our little one with her caring and thoughtful demeanor. Another thing we appreciated is that in addition to caring for our baby, Karin was very willing to help with light household chores, including laundry, which was a huge benefit for our family. Karin is a trusted caregiver and we would certainly hire her again whenever the need arises. I recommend her to any parent or family looking for reliable, dependable, experienced and kind help.
