Hi! I’m Karla — a caring, reliable, and patient sitter with over six years of experience working with children of all ages and abilities. I truly love helping kids learn, grow, and feel confident in themselves. Whether it’s supporting daily routines, encouraging creativity through play, or helping with social and emotional skills, I aim to make every day positive and meaningful. I currently work as a clinical supervisor in Applied Behavior Analysis and special education paraeducator, where I support children with autism and other developmental needs. I’m trained in positive behavior strategies, crisis prevention, and communication supports like PECS and visual schedules. I’m also bilingual in English and Spanish and pursuing a Master’s in Special Education with a focus on Applied Behavior Analysis. Prior to that, I attended UC San Diego and graduated with a degree in Psychology, with a minor in Spanish Literature. Families describe me as calm, dependable, Read more and compassionate. I’d love the opportunity to bring that same energy and care into your home!

Karla worked with my child for about 3 years and she was always kind, patient, attentive, playful, positive, and responsible. My child loved her so much and grew a close bond with her, she had a great impact in my child's development and always put a smile on both of my kids.
