I’m a friendly, responsible, and caring person with experience working with children, families, and pets. I’m originally from Peru and have been living in the United States for several years. I enjoy helping others, staying active, and creating a safe and positive environment. I offer childcare, babysitting, pet care, light meal preparation, homework help, and help with daily activities. I’m responsible, dependable, and happy to adapt to each family’s needs. I’m comfortable caring for infants, toddlers, young children, and school-age children. I understand that each age group has different needs, and I always focus on safety, patience, and making children feel comfortable. enjoy playing games, doing arts and crafts, reading, dancing, listening to music, going for walks, and doing age-appropriate activities that keep children active and engaged. I can help with homework, prepare simple and healthy meals, and keep children entertained with creative activities. I also enjoy dancing and fitness, so l love incorporating movement and music into activities with children. I have food safety training/certification and Zumba instructor training. I'm also committed to learning and following each family's safety and care instructions. I have experience helping and caring for seniors with patience, kindness, and respect. I also worked through the IHSS (In-Home Supportive Services) program in San Francisco, where I provided support with daily activities and non-medical needs. I can help with cooking, light housekeeping, errands, grocery shopping, transportation, companionship, and daily activities. I enjoy helping people and making their day easier. I'm patient, caring, and I enjoy listening and keeping people company. I'm comfortable caring for pets and understand that every pet has its own personality and routine. I can help with feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, and keeping their space clean. I'm responsible and always follow the owner's instructions carefully.

“Karina took care of my siblings like no one else, as she not only created a safe space for them but also suggested a series of recreational activities that my siblings continue to practice today, such as drawing, painting, and playing soccer. Additionally, she always ensured that my siblings were comfortable, well-fed, and surrounded by lots of love. I highly recommend Karina's caregiving!”

Giovanna $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! I’m a loving, proactive, and compassionate nanny and house assistant with over seven years of experience caring for children ages 2 to 16. I’m super energetic, patient, and always bring positive energy into the home. I truly love what I do, helping families stay organized, keeping the home running smoothly, and creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for kids to grow and feel loved. Right now, I care for two wonderful kids (ages 12, and 9). My days include school drop-offs, organizing after-school activities like sports and tutoring, helping with errands, managing the family calendar, and keeping the home clean and tidy. Before that, I cared for an amazing 12-year-old boy with autism for almost three years, supporting his daily routine, school, and therapies with patience and consistency, while also helping with light housekeeping, errands, and pet care. Over the years, I’ve gained a lot of experience balancing family routines, promoting positive behavior, and creating a calm and joyful environment. I’m CPR certified, fully vaccinated, a non-smoker, and have a clean driving record. I’m looking for a wonderful family that feels like the right fit, where I can bring my heart, energy, and experience to make everyday life easier and happier. I’d love to hear from you! ✨
