My name is Karina, I am a fun loving introvert who loves to travel, explore. I have a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and extensive experience with kids through teaching, mentoring, caretaking, and nannying and I am happy to fill whatever role you are seeking. I am passionate about knowledge, fun, and maximizing life experiences. I have spent my whole life taking care of others, especially children, and I'd be honored if you'd consider me as a potential candidate to care for and get to know your children and your family. I am an ambivert - I am sometimes shy initially but once I'm comfortable I am incredibly fun, open, and often pretty funny. I am pretty easy going but I am also very passionate, and empathetic. I am introspective and I love to learn new things, especially about people and they way that they are - essentially I enjoy understanding Read more and connecting with people. I enjoy being around children and their unique and complex personalities. I have spent my whole life around children and I ease right into an older sister role when it comes to meeting new kids.

As you can tell I've spent my whole life around kids and I'm very familiar with being a nurturer, caretaker, teacher, and mentor. I am happy to fill any and all of these roles so that you can feel assured that you're kids are well taken care of and in a safe and happy environment. My philosophy on children is that they are at unique stages in their lives with their own feelings, thoughts, and behaviors. Many people can get frustrated with children because children don't always know what they are feeling or thinking and it can often
