“Athena was a delight to work with! We were in town for a wedding and needed help watching our kids at our hotel. I was a little nervous about it since it was a small hotel room but Athena was a pro! She quickly connected with my kids and put them at ease. She brought some fun toys and games that engaged the kids and they had a blast. Highly recommend!”
I am a responsible and dependable college student at California State University, Monterey Bay, studying psychology with a strong interest in child development and education. I have experience working with children through volunteering and classroom settings, and I enjoy creating a safe, positive, and engaging environment where kids can learn and have fun. Families describe me as patient, caring, organized, and reliable. I am comfortable helping with homework, supervising activities, preparing simple meals, and assisting with light household tasks. In addition to childcare, I have extensive experience caring for animals. I grew up around dogs, cats, chickens, and horses, so I am comfortable with pet sitting, feeding, exercising, and providing attentive care for a variety of pets. I also love to do arts and crafts, sing, dance, watch movies, bake, and learn new hobbies with kiddos!!
Hi my name is Kari! I am a graduate student at CSUMB and a Navy veteran. I have always enjoyed fostering loving and fun environments for children starting when I was a Girl Scout camp counselor in my teens, to babysitting and nannying after my time in the Navy, until now after having my own son! Some of my favorite activities to do with children are arts / crafts, beach days, aquarium visits, gardening, library story times, etc! I am CPR and basic life support (for adults and infants) certified and recently took the recertification course. I have advanced knowledge of combat casualty care as well. I have base and commissary access if needed for your situation. I am very good with all kinds of animals of all kinds of temperament.
“Kari is an AMAZING sitter/nanny. I was having some consistency issues with my current daycare because the lady running our daycare was dealing with some doctors appointments, and THANK GOD I had Kari to help with those days I didn’t have care for my son. I wish I could have switched to Kari all together, but unfortunately it just wouldn’t work for my schedule and it’s the only reason she isn’t our full time care. She was fully engaged with my son, she followed our schedule to the second, she fed him great food, all whole foods all very healthy, she even washed his clothes when he got them wet. She even took the kids to the beach! My son had soooo much fun with her. She’s an amazing mom and and amazing caregiver. She is the kost impressive sitter I have ever used and my son loves her so much.”
