Booked by 8 families in Maxwell, TX

Nurturing young minds is my passion. For 20 years, I've dedicated myself to providing enriching childcare experiences. My graduate degree, combined with Early Child Development coursework, has equipped me with the knowledge to support each child's unique growth. I am CPR and First Aid certified. I enjoy playing board games, puzzles, and educational apps. I'm happy to help with cooking, carpooling, and swimming supervision. I am comfortable enforcing household rules. I communicate with parents using their preferred method, including verbal updates and texts. Knowing I can positively impact your child's life and provide reliable support for your family is why I love what I do. I can comfortably care for three children and would love to bring my patient, creative, and friendly approach to your family. ***** I take Zelle for payment*****

Karina $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Karina, and I’m a caring, responsible, and energetic babysitter with a genuine love for working with children. I have 5 years of experience caring for kids of all ages, from infants to pre-teens. Whether it’s helping with homework, organizing fun and educational activities, or simply being a positive and attentive presence, I always strive to create a safe, nurturing environment where children can thrive. I prioritize safety and communication with both kids and parents, and I understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy looking after your little ones. When I’m not babysitting, I enjoy going for walks, exploring Austin, painting and crafts, and I love bringing that creativity and energy into the time I spend with children. I look forward to meeting your family and supporting your child’s happiness and well-being!
