Booked by 4 families in Cotati, CA

Hi families! My name is Karolline, I’m 23 years old, and I’ve been working with children since I was 15 years old. I started babysitting because I wanted to earn my own money at a young age, but it quickly became something I truly love and enjoy doing. Over the years, I’ve cared for kids of different ages and personalities, and I love building genuine connections with them while creating a safe, fun, and loving environment. I’m very patient, responsible, energetic, and creative. I love keeping kids engaged with fun activities like arts and crafts, outdoor adventures, reading, games, baking, walks to the park, and imaginative play. I’m someone who enjoys being active, and since I love hiking and nature, I always encourage healthy, fun activities instead of too much screen time. Families would describe me as reliable, caring, organized, and easy to communicate with. I understand how important trust is when it comes to your children, and I always do my best to make both parents and kids feel comfortable and happy. I love being the babysitter that kids are excited to see again! I’m CPR certified, have my own reliable car, and maintain a clean driving record, so transportation and safety are never a concern. Whether your family needs occasional babysitting, date nights, after-school help, or a regular nanny, I’d love the opportunity to help make your life a little easier while making sure your kids are having fun and feeling cared for.

Karol was very attentive and caring, and got our three kids in bed before I can most nights! Would definitely recommend.

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
