Hello! My name is Karlina. I’m a warm, patient, dependable, and caring person who truly enjoys working with children and helping families. I’m originally from Costa Rica and am bilingual in English and Spanish. I’ve been married for 28 years and am a proud mother of three wonderful children, ages 13, 18, and 21. I’m currently looking for a part-time nanny or family assistant position where I can use my experience as a mother, my love for children, and my natural ability to keep a household organized and running smoothly. 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

Hi! My name is Sheena and I can assure you my qualifications, personality, and attention to detail will make the pay worth your while. My experience ranges from all over. It began when I started volunteering at my church with the childcare center! I knew I had a passion and decided to go to college for early childhood education. I finished my schooling in 2022 and wanted to explore a teaching career. I then worked in a preschool for almost a year and a half. I became CPR/First Aid certified there and still am! I had my own T-K classroom with 24 children and loved finding fun ways to lead them to learn. This included social studies, math, science, writing, language/literacy, dramatic play, as well as social and emotional in my daily goals. When attendance was low I would “float” to different classes and spend time with all ages, giving me experience with the entire school that was varying from ages 1-2, 2-3, and 3-4. The director of the school would love to give me a great reference. I have been told I have a calming presence yet spunky character so it works out great for children and I to bond! Additionally, I have a younger sister with extreme allergies and a mom with disabilities so I can understand special circumstances and will prioritize your needs and directions with the utmost respect. I want you to know that I was raised “treat others the way you want to be treated“. I will leave an area looking better than I found it, ask questions so I get things done right, and value your family and home as if it was my own.

Sheena was wonderful with our two children!

Tanya 1 review
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hello, It is very nice to find you here. I began my childcare, elder care, and pet care services as a teenager, and I am now in my mid 50s. I love caring for others and making them feel supported. I have worked with children from infants through high school. As a teen, I was the neighborhood babysitter :-). After I finished college, I became a substitute teacher for grades K-12 and subsequently an elementary school teacher of 2nd grade. Kids are great little people! During my high school years, I was the neighborhood pet sitter. Currently I am able to go to the pet's home to make sure they are taken for walks and fed along with other needs. Dogs, cats, pet rabbits, and other furry creatures are little bundles of love. :-) My elder care experience began with my grandmother who developed Alzheimer's nearly 10 years ago. I took care of her daily living needs, cooking, errands, and social events. I have since had a number of elder care clients who need support in their living space. It gives me great pleasure to know I've made someone else's day better with my caring skills. Looking forward to chatting with you.

Tanya has helped me run my household several times in a few different capacities over several decades. She was an excellent baby sitter for my son, and I also have trusted her with house and pet sitting. Tanya is reliable, honest and a real pleasure as a person. She is kind, compassionate and attuned. I can’t recommend her highly enough.

Brianna $16 per hour for 1 child

I am a college student who is majoring in Child and Adolescent Development and minoring in Psychology. I enjoy working with kids, and I am comfortable working with infants and toddlers aged 1 year and older. I volunteered at Children's Paradise, where I worked with infants. I did that from March to April. I have watched pets before, and I have a dog, and I have watched cats before too, so I love animals. I love taking care of kids because they deserve to be in a comfortable environment, and I think kids are great to be around. I am a kind, respectful person, and I care about what I do.
