Hi! I’m Karina :) I love working with kids. I’m a responsible, hands-on and patient caregiver who will always make sure your kids feel comfortable and happy. I have experience caring for children ranging from infants to school-aged kids. I worked at an elementary school for six months, supervising groups of 2nd and 5th graders. I’m happy to follow your family’s rules and schedules. I make it my mission to make sure any child I’m watching over is cared for, safe and having fun. I’m big on communication, so I will keep you updated and won’t hesitate to ask questions or reach out if anything comes up! Please note that my standard rates apply to local bookings. For longer-distance travel, rates may be adjusted to account for commute time and transportation costs. Can’t wait to meet you!

“Karina is an exceptional caregiver who consistently demonstrates excellent childcare skills, professionalism, and genuine care for children. We especially appreciate the imagination and creativity she brings to playtime, creating engaging and enriching experiences for our toddler. Karina is proactive when it comes to our child’s safety. For example, she thoughtfully shares her location when taking our toddler on walks, which gives us additional peace of mind. She is also an excellent communicator and keeps us informed while remaining attentive to our preferences and expectations. In addition to providing wonderful childcare, Karina is very helpful around the household. She assists with putting food away, doing the dishes, and supporting our child’s bath time and bedtime routines. She is personable, approachable, and easy to communicate with. Karina is very receptive to feedback and consistently makes an effort to respect and incorporate our wishes. Her experience and confidence as a caregiver are evident in the way she interacts with our child. She does a wonderful job teaching appropriate rules, boundaries, and respect for others in an age-appropriate and positive way. We have been very pleased with Karina’s care and would highly recommend her services to any family looking for a dependable, experienced, and caring childcare provider.”

Hello, my name is Rana! I’m 24 years old and I recently graduated from pharmacy school. I hope to keep up with babysitting as I prepare for my board exams and navigate my main career. I have prior experience babysitting for kids ages 3-13. I love spending time with kids and I’m very extroverted, so I know how to keep them entertained! I’m dedicated to making sure they have a fun, safe, and healthy time. I can assist with their studies, arts/ crafts, cleaning, playtime, light cooking, and preparing for bedtime. I also have two 2 cats and prior cat-sitting experience as well. My schedule is flexible so I’m mostly available anytime throughout the week with prior notice. I’m also CPR certified, can administer injections/ help with giving medications if needed, and am mental health first aid certified as well!

"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!"
