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!”

Booked by 1 family in Hawaiian Gardens, CA

Hello! My name is Savannah, and I am a Child Development student at California State University Long Beach, with a passion for special education and supporting neurodivergent children in their development. I previous worked as a part-time nanny for a two child household, with a 10m infant and a 3 year old child. I worked with them until the oldest was 5 years old, and I handled bedtime routines, bath time, meal preparation and feedings, bottle sterilization, diaper changes, and play-based learning to support developmental goals. I also work as a behavioral technician, where I work with neurodivergent children ranging for 3 years old to 16 years old. I use hands-off behavioral intervention techniques to build emotional regulation skills and work to replace adverse behaviors (hitting, spitting, self-injury, tantrums) with healthy coping strategies. I enjoy working with children of all ages and abilities, with a focus on supporting developmental goals through play-based learning. I am also CPR/AED/First Aid certified through the Red Cross, so you can be assured that your child will be safe with me.

"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!"
