About Carina

Experience: 10 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

Need a PT ninja grandma for your kids? Child Whisperer? Chaos Coordinator? I'd describe myself as confident, inventive, independent- a true Gen Xer... Will care for any age. I think they should ALL be nurtured and guided and respected for their uniqueness and abilities, not talked down to. I'm a homework helper and can help your kids be happy, successful, confident, and ready for their futures. I support critical thinking skills, assertiveness, and personal autonomy. Infants are awesome, too! I love being a grandma and mom- 4 each! I (and they) think I've done a pretty great job imho. I'd love to use that and have a continuing impact on others. I started working with kids when I was a big sister at 10, babysat by 14! CPR/First Aid certified! Purdue graduate in social psychology! In my spare time, I like to read, binge watch TV, camp.

Carina has been the biggest help to our family. She is great with both the baby & young teen and very engaging with both. She is always on time, keeps to sleep routines and feeding schedules, and is beyond helpful with extra tasks around the house. It has been such a relief to have someone so reliable and willing to help out with those extra things that will put a little more time back into my week. 10/10 She is awesome.
