Hi there! I come from a big family, so caring for kids has always come naturally to me. Along with that hands-on experience, I’ve babysat for families and can provide references upon request. I’m a recent USC graduate and currently part of an HR leadership development program here in Carlsbad, which has sharpened my organization, responsibility, and people skills. I love keeping kids engaged, safe, and happy whether that’s helping with homework, playing games, or being a reliable extra set of hands for parents.

Childcare Experience As a mother of three, I have many years of hands-on experience caring for children of different ages, including babies and infants. I’m comfortable with bottle-feeding, burping, diaper changes, preparing bottles, nap and feeding routines, and providing attentive, loving care throughout the day. I genuinely enjoy spending time with children—reading, playing, helping with homework, going to the park, and keeping them engaged in fun, age-appropriate activities. I’m also comfortable helping with: * School and activity drop-offs and pick-ups * Preparing simple meals and snacks * Children’s laundry and light tidying * Organizing bedrooms, play areas, and belongings * Homework and daily routines * Errands and general family assistance A Little More About Me I’m naturally organized, responsible, and proactive. I enjoy creating a clean, comfortable environment and am happy to help with tidying, laundry, organizing, and other household tasks.

My goal is to be someone a family can truly trust and depend on, while providing their children with a safe, positive, patient, and caring environment. References are available upon request.

I’m very happy to recommend Karlina for any babysitting or nanny position. She is a genuinely caring, kind, and thoughtful person who connects naturally with children. She is experienced, dependable, and highly capable, with a calm presence that puts both children and parents at ease. She is fun and engaging, and would do a great job balancing play, creativity, and structure. Children truly enjoy spending time with her. What really sets her apart is her reliability and good judgment. She takes her responsibilities seriously, is consistently dependable, and creates a safe, positive environment for kids. She brings warmth and professionalism to everything she does. I would confidently recommend her to families looking for a trustworthy, capable, and engaging babysitter. Thank you, -Sandra
