Hello! My name is Karol, and I’m a responsible, caring, and proactive nanny with over two years of professional experience caring for children, plus several more caring for younger family members. I have a certificate confirming my work experience in childcare and I’m also CPR certified, so safety is always a priority. I specialize in working with infants and toddlers, especially those not yet in daycare or school. I love connecting with little ones through play, music, and learning moments. I’m patient, nurturing, and always focused on creating a calm and loving environment where children feel safe and happy. I’m fluent in Spanish and currently improving my English. I would love to work with an English-speaking family and am happy to introduce your children to Spanish naturally through play, songs, and everyday interaction. I can help with: • Preparing meals and snacks for children • Diaper changes and nap routines • Light housekeeping and children’s laundry • Keeping play areas tidy and organized • Engaging them in creative, screen-free activities I’m looking for a respectful and kind family who values open communication and trust. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile I would love to become a helpful part of your child’s early years!

Hi! I'm a recent Georgetown grad staying in DC for the summer. I love to read, play sports, and enjoy hiking and the outdoors. I have three years of experience babysitting for kids ages 1-13 in the DC area. I also worked for 2 years as a camp counselor for ages 5-14. I love spending time with all kinds of kids, whether they are energetic and outdoorsy or they prefer to hang inside and read or color. My availability is super flexible this summer, and I am free most evenings and mornings! I also grew up caring for my dog, Lego, who recently just passed away. I'm really missing having a dog in my life, so would also love any opportunity to dog sit or dog walk! I am very responsible and reliable and, again, have very flexible hours this summer.
