About Carolina

Experience: 20 yrs

Hi! My name is Carolina, I'm an ex-elementary/preschool teacher. I have ~20 years of professional childcare/teaching experience from infants (professional infant training) to 12 yrs old. I have 3 children myself (all adults!), a passion for early childhood development, and patience for the learning and growth of each child. I'm energetic, positive, and creative! I'd describe my personality as joyful, energetic, and loyal! I'm looking for a fair and respectful family to work for. I appreciate strong communication! I started working with kids when I was a special education teacher in FCPS (Fairfax county public schools). Family comes first for me! My weekends are to take care of my dog Domino, organize my home for the week and enjoy time with my friends and family. My skills include working with infants, toddlers, and early preschoolers. I am also fluent in Spanish.

Carolina was an extraordinary caregiver for our two boys for several years. We first met her as our son’s preschool teacher, and she eventually became an indispensable part of our home life. What started as after-school care—handling transportation and snacks—quickly evolved into a dedicated tutoring role. When the pandemic hit, Carolina transitioned to full-time care, essentially running a home school for our then 7 and 9-year-olds. She didn't just 'supervise' remote learning; she enriched it with her own lessons in language arts, history, and science. The foundation she built was incredible. Our children our kind, polite, and confident. Each speaks well enough with adults they are often mistakenly assumed to be older children. Further, both our sons are thriving academically—our eldest is currently maintaining straight As in an all-honors course load. We cannot recommend her highly enough for any family looking for a blend of professional teaching expertise and genuine, nurturing care
