A little bit about me
Hi my name is Karina, but you can call me Kari. I've been working with kids since I was 15 and love it. I started by watching my nieces & nephew and then began babysitting for kids in our neighborhood. Over the last few years, I've worked primarily with infants and toddlers, but I love kids of all ages. If it's nice out, I like to take the kids outside, but if not, I whip out my origami skills :) In my free time, I love playing soccer, meditating and cooking.

A little bit about me
Hi there! I was a student at ISU studyjng Education and Psychology and before that I went to art school and traveled a lot. I have experience as nanny and house manager for about 10 years. I have experience with newborns to thirteen year olds. I love to read, arts and crafts, baking, and being out and active. I am able to provide an open availability and I have a car for transportation. I believe in hands on learning and privinding an environment that revolves around developmental goals and needs. I am flexable in terms of my duties as a nanny and/or house manager. I am always willing discuss what you and your family needs and work to provide that for you. Please feel free to message me and we can set up a time chat. Thank you!

Hi I’m Estela Mendoza, a mom of two with over 10 years of childcare experience. I began babysitting more than a decade ago and became a full-time nanny in 2015, caring for twins.I also have 10 years of experience with Chicago Public Schools as a Special Education Classroom Assistant, supporting children with autism, developmental delays, physical disabilities, and other special needs. I’m currently completing my bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education to become a licensed teacher. I believe every child deserves a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where they can learn, grow, and thrive. I am patient, dependable, compassionate, and enjoy partnering with families to support each child’s unique needs and development.I look forward to becoming a trusted, positive part of your family’s journey.
