Meet Karin

I have many years of experience taking care of and teaching children. I recently took care of two precious girls for 5 1/2 years since birth. I am a devoted Aunt to seven nieces and nephews and spent a lot of time taking care of them as well. I have taught children in the Creative Arts so I am energetic, engaging, playful, creative, reliable and dependable. I love to cook, bake and do crafts.....so fun is always on my agenda! I have great references and my clients are very happy. My outgoing personality and loving demeanor makes me an ideal babysitter to care for your loved ones. Looking forward to hearing from you! Karin

Karin babysat our 4.5 YO, energetic son for 8 hours on a Saturday morning/ afternoon. We had a pleasant conversation days prior that immediately put me at ease. She arrived on time and armed with projects and crafts and other things to do throughout the day. She provided us with texts and pictures throughout the day as well and that was really thoughtful. She is energetic and has a great, friendly personality that my son loved. We already have her booked for an up-coming event! I would highly recommend Karin for kids of any age!!

From the moment we first met Karin, we felt comfortable with her and confident that she would do a wonderful job. She certainly did and we can't wait to have her back more. She is extremely reliable, perfectly punctual and our children adore her. She is hands on and engages the kids in games as well as cooking activities. She was very open to being flexible for our needs, coming early in the morning and again later the same day after school. She had no problem picking the kids up from a busy and not-so-easy-to-find location (school). She communicated brilliantly with me via text to let me know when they were back at home (or dropped off at school). I was so grateful to have her helping us! She left our home more organized and cleaner than she found it (so kind of her!!) and even took great care of our dog. We are so glad to have found Karin and look forward to calling on her again soon.
