Hi there! I'm Karol, a Woodbridge resident with over 20 years of experience nurturing children. My journey began by working with children with Down Syndrome – an incredibly rewarding experience that instilled in me a deep love and understanding of youngsters' diverse needs. Following that, I spent years at daycare centers like Christ Chapel Academy and Crème de la Crème Learning Center, where I honed my skills caring for infants and toddlers. Witnessing their early development – from the first smile to mastering tummy time – is a constant source of joy. While I haven't actively worked with children for the past 4 years (focusing on family and my husband's business), my passion hasn't waned. Being with children is simply in my DNA! Why Choose Me? • Experienced and Up-to-Date: Though I took a break, my skills are sharp thanks to my adorable nephews, and I'm eager to get back Read more into the swing of things. • Nurturing & Stimulating Environment: I believe in fostering a warm, stimulating environment through reading, songs, and playful conversation (even with my non-perfect English!). • Reliable & Trustworthy: Peace of mind is key. I'm dependable, honest, punctual, and prioritize open communication. • Adaptable & Multitasking: I can seamlessly blend into your family's routines and manage multiple children if needed. More Than Just Babysitting: My background as a psychologist allows me to be extra sensitive to children's needs. I'm confident I can bring the support and confidence you need to enjoy worry-free nights. Let's create a happy, nurturing environment for your precious child!
