Hi there! I’m Karla, a caring, patient, and dependable caregiver who loves working with kids. I started my journey at a preschool in Hawaii, where I learned how wonderful it is to help little ones grow, play, and learn new things every day.
Since then, I’ve cared for toddlers and infants, assisting families with morning routines, light housekeeping, and creating calm, happy days for their children. I especially enjoy helping babies reach new milestones and watching kids gain confidence.
I always strive to bring kindness, positive energy, and flexibility to every family I work with. I’m excited to continue learning, growing, and making a difference in the lives of the families I serve.
I'm available to work occasionally or part-time.
Previous experience:
- One year and four months as a preschool assistant teacher, where I worked with multiple children at once. (January 2023 - April 2024) at Alakaii Academy, Kailua-Kona, HI.
- Five months assisting a family in Outer Richmond 3–5 days a week, helping with morning routines, pet care, light housekeeping, and quickly preparing lunch boxes for toddlers, changing diapers, and feeding infants with formula.
- Seven weeks working full-time and part-time with two infants, helping create a safe and secure environment. I helped a 20-month-old learn new words, shared toys in the playground, and encouraged socialization.
- Six months working temporarily with an AI company in San Francisco, helping founders worldwide care for their children when they are busy at work, assisting with transitions to new cities, showing them parks, museums, and transparent jobs, and offering swim lessons. I had the honor of improving my ability to help busy families manage housing and hospitality, and I can provide a strong reference upon request.
Most of my previous families were found on Sittercity, where I hold 5-star reviews, a clean background check, clean vehicle records, and CPR certification.
Now, I am looking to relocate temporarily, part-time, or occasionally as I pursue my doula certification and swim instructor certification—my hobby, naturally sharing my love of swimming.
I am happy to help your family with simplicity and humility, bringing positive energy and enthusiasm for your little ones.
I love supporting families. My rates depend on your needs. I provide clean, organized, professional care and value clear communication with parents.
