Hi! I’m Kari, a creative, dependable, and compassionate caregiver with 10+ years of childcare experience, 15 years of household experience, and 4 years of professional pet-sitting experience. I genuinely enjoy caring for people, children, pets, and homes, and I take pride in creating a safe, comfortable, and positive environment for every family I work with. I’ve been babysitting since I was about 12, starting with my younger cousins and nephews, including babies just a few months old. Since then, I’ve cared for children ranging from newborns through young teens (up to age 16). I also worked for two years at 24 Hour Fitness Plus in their childcare program, giving me professional experience caring for multiple children and keeping them safe, engaged, and entertained. I love creative activities, imaginative play, music, storytelling, arts and crafts, and helping with homework. My background in theatre also makes me especially comfortable creating fun, engaging activities for kids of different ages and personalities. I’m currently completing my pediatric and adult CPR training and certification. I also offer household services and have about 15 years of experience cleaning and caring for homes. I work quickly but thoroughly and pay close attention to detail. I’ve been recommended by previous clients because I take pride in doing a great job. Most importantly, there is absolutely no judgment here! Whether you need routine cleaning, tidying, organizing, or help getting your home back under control, I’m happy to help. I’ve been pet sitting for about four years and have experience caring for senior pets, disabled pets, and pets who need medications. I’m comfortable with feeding, administering medication, providing companionship, and following individual care instructions. I’ve also grown up with pets and had my own cat for 11 years, so I understand how much our animals mean to us. I’m also interested in senior care. I helped my grandmother care for my great-grandmother until she passed, and I’m comfortable providing companionship, assistance with meals and feedings, entertainment, and day-to-day support. I’m especially happy to keep someone company through conversation, music, singing, games, or simply being a friendly presence. I’m patient, attentive, responsible, creative, and genuinely care about the people and animals I work with. My goal is for families to feel comfortable knowing their loved ones and their homes are in capable, caring hands.
I have one year of experience working as a caregiver for a family in California, where I supported an elderly mother with daily care while also helping maintain a calm, organized, and loving home. In this role, I was responsible not only for senior care, but also for caring for two dogs and two cats, ensuring they were well-fed, exercised, and comfortable. I also 5 years of pet sitting experience via Rover with 5-star reviews and have many references. This experience taught me responsibility, patience, and the importance of creating a safe and nurturing environment for every member of the household. I also have experience caring for children through helping look after my younger cousins. I naturally connect well with kids, and they tend to feel comfortable and at ease around me. I am gentle, attentive, and enjoy engaging with children in a positive and supportive way. I am eager to learn, flexible with routines, and happy to follow a family’s specific needs and values. I take pride in being dependable, kind, and compassionate, and I truly enjoy helping families feel supported and cared for.
I have a masters in criminal justice and have over 10 years experience working with children of all ages. Prior to working in the banking industry, I worked with the City of Houston in the Parks and Recreation department for 12 years and was trained to work with special needs adults and children.
