A little bit about me
I am a dedicated and experienced Nanny and Household Manager with a background in both preschool education and private family care. I value health, nutrition, wellness, outdoor education, and fostering a deep connection with the natural world. With a strong emphasis on social-emotional development, I help children learn to regulate and express their emotions in a safe and supportive environment.
Calm, loving, patient, and creative, I enjoy incorporating music, art, cooking, and science into engaging, hands-on activities. My goal is to create an enriching learning environment where children can thrive—nurturing their curiosity, confidence, and joy. In addition to childcare, I bring strong organizational skills and experience managing household operations, ensuring that both the children and the home are well cared for.

"Katrina is amazing! She is great at coming up with activities that keep baby happy and entertained. She has a very gentle and warm demeanor that made my little guy instantly comfortable with her. Upon request, she was happy to prepare homemade, organic baby food. Katrina is someone who I know I can trust to go above and beyond to make sure baby is properly cared for. She was also very accommodating and flexible with scheduling. Unfortunately, my family relocated to a different city, but I will always call Katrina first if we are in the area and need a babysitter!"

A little bit about me
Greetings! I’m a semi-retired very active GMA who’s native to SC County & adores children of ALL ages! Currently renewing my certs in First Aid/CPR. I raised a very successful daughter as a single mom (I understand those challenges well!) and will be available for flexible scheduling. My GKids call me the “GMA Whisperer”, convinced I’m the only person to EVER calm a fussy baby, using my patented “Lulla-Rock” technique! (Thanks for the VOTE of confidence kids) BTW there’s no patent pending, it’s experience, love & trust that comforts baby or any child. Listening & observing the individual needs of each child is imperative to their growth and developmental success. Good nutrition, a stimulating environment of educational (as required) activities, and implementation of the families core values is important. I will show up for you… day or night, like a silent partner without exception and ready to handle your needs. I’m excited about building a relationship with you & yours!

Hello! My name is Krystina Avalos. After having my daughter 3 years ago while in school, I realized how important it is to have support while raising a child. I hope to help families in need, so parents can focus on their careers. I am EMT certified and am currently in school part-time working to gain admission to a graduate school program in healthcare. I have very diverse work experience and am a quick learner. I would love to learn more about your family and assist you in a wide range of household duties while caring for your child/ren.
