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.
