With close to ten years of experience in youth education and childcare, I have worked with children ages three and up across a wide range of settings. My academic background spans psychology and theater arts, including a semester of dedicated research in early childhood developmental psychology. Beyond nannying, my deepest passion is theater — I have performed in dozens of professional stage productions throughout the Bay Area, including children's theater in San Francisco. I bring that creative energy directly to my work with kids: I teach drama and vocal lessons to students ages five and up, and co-founded a drama camp and daycare program in Point Richmond back in 2020. I began nannying at 20 and have genuinely loved every stage of this work. In addition to childcare, I'm happy to assist with basic household tasks, offer pet care (I'm a former dog walker and current cat owner), and provide transportation — I have a valid CA driver's license and my own vehicle. If your child has an interest in performing arts, I'd also love to incorporate some singing or drama games into our time together.
Hello parents, My name is Evelyn Karina , I’m a happy married woman , and proud mom of two boys, 20 and 25 years old. I have been working as a nanny for more than 25 years with kids as young as 2 months and up. I am bilingual Spanish-English, responsible, honest, loving, trustworthy, patient, CPR and first aid certified, also registered with Trustline. I’m up to date with all my vaccinations, including Covid. I have my own car, auto insurance, clean driving record, and excellent references from my previous jobs. I like to take kids to parks, zoo, walks, library and to any other place where they can have fun, explore and learn new things that will help them to grow. As a nanny, I always make sure kids under my care are safe, healthy and happy. Please let me know if you would like to know more about me and my experience. Thanks for your time and I look forward to hearing from you. Best, Evelyn
“There is no caregiver like Karina. She looked after my children and was like a part of our family for six years. She is helpful, reliable, so easy to be around and wonderfully kind, loving but appropriately firm with children. My kids still love her and talk about her often. Friends of mine would see her with our kids at music class or the park and remark how great she was with them. You will not find a better fit for your childcare needs!”
As a certified teacher with a decade of childcare experience, I'm passionate about nurturing children's growth. My calm and creative personality helps me engage children in educational and fun activities. I keep parents updated on their child's day through written reports and use their preferred communication method. I'm comfortable following the household rules set by the parents and have experience caring for children of all ages, from infants to pre-teens. I'm also fluent in English and Portuguese. Adding to all, I am certified for First Aid and Child Nutrition and Cooking. By now, my priority is to keep the kids safe while nurturing a playful environment where they can develop their set of skills and personality. I`m fully vaccinated. I believe in supporting families and providing reliable care. It brings me joy to see the positive impact I have on children's lives. I would be thrilled to be a part of your family and look forward to getting to know you and your children.
Hi! I have several years of experience working with kids and currently work at an after-school program with children from TK through 6th grade. I’m comfortable caring for multiple children, helping with homework, planning activities, preparing snacks/meals, and keeping kids entertained and on a routine. I’m CPR/BLS certified and also have a background in healthcare. I’m patient, responsible, outgoing, and genuinely enjoy being around kids. I’m also comfortable with pets, driving to activities or school, and helping out with light household tasks when needed. I’d love to find a family I can build a comfortable and reliable relationship with!
