About Karena

Experience: 10 yrs

Nurturing a child's curiosity and watching them reach new milestones is my greatest passion. With 10 years of experience, I provide reliable, compassionate care for up to three children, ranging from infants to pre-teens. My experience as a childcare professional as well as my associates degree in Early Childhood Education allow me to foster development through engaging, educational games. I am a creative, friendly caregiver who feels very comfortable enforcing your household rules to maintain consistency. I hold CPR Training and First Aid Training certifications to ensure a safe environment. I am happy to assist with meal preparation, light housekeeping, carpooling, and swimming supervision. I always follow your preferred communication method to keep you updated on your child's day. I truly look forward to becoming a supportive partner in your family's life and helping your children thrive.

My family interviewed Karena and she was very sweet, personable, professional and cheerful. We ended up not needing to hire for the weekends after all so won't be using her. I would definitely recommend her!
