A little bit about me
Hi! I'm Karina, a dependable and caring nanny with experience working with children from 9 months to 15 years old. I'm
currently looking for a new position starting around August 25, full-time or part-time.
Most of my experience is with school-aged kids, both in school environments and at home, supporting routines, pick-up/drop-off, learning, and activities.
I'm currently in a full-time role caring for a
21-month-old (since he was 9 months), who will be starting daycare in September.
I bring a calm, responsible, and engaging approach to childcare, always focused on creating a safe, positive environment. I'm CPR/First Aid certified, fully vaccinated, and happy to assist with tasks like meal prep, groceries, returns, laundry, and keeping things organized.

I love bringing a fun energy into my job and I have many skills and hobbies that I can integrate as well (musically, sports, socially, educationally, etc). I’m currently a senior at University of Washington Bothell and a mother to my 3 year old son who has year-long full-time enrollment in school; allowing me to have some flexibility in my hours. Looking for a job I can incorporate my happiness and fun through, but also encourage a healthy development of these crucial years of childhood.

Nanny Amy
"Amy made a natural connection quickly with our 4 year old son and has been our go-to babysitter for 1 year and a half now. She engages with him and keeps him well entertained. He is not quick to trust new people, so we were ready for her to be challenged. She handled him very well. She is trustworthy and takes her job seriously. We recommend her to everyone!"

Nanny Amy

She has done overnights with my 3 year old special needs son, and then took care of my one week old baby over multiple overnights when I had to unexpectedly go back to the hospital - she handled everything perfectly and is the only one I trust with kids now!"
