I am a responsible 10th-grade student with experience babysitting children ages 3–10. I have cared for multiple families and regularly look after my younger siblings, which has helped me become patient and dependable.

Are you searching for a reliable and nurturing babysitter or pet sitter? Look no further! With over a year of experience caring for babys, toddlers, and young children, I know how to create a safe, fun, and engaging environment for all ages of kids.
My passion for animals started at a young age, and I’ve been a dedicated pet owner and caretaker since I was 9. Alongside my own beloved dog and two cats, I have experience with a variety of pets, including ferrets, bunnies, hamsters, and turtles.
Whether it's storytime filled with imagination, engaging arts and crafts, or ensuring your pets receive all the love and attention they deserve, I’m here to make sure your kids and/or pets are happy and cared for while you're away!
I am 17 years old, I do have my own car. I would rather not go out unless it is a short distance due to the miles being able to be able to drive each day.

I have been specifically working with the babys, toddlers, and up to 2nd grade at church for a little over a year. I have had dogs since I was born, I really started to take care more of the pets when I turned 9-10. This does include cats, dogs, and turtles. While these are the animals I specifically have I do have experience with ferrets, bunnies, hamsters, and gerbils. I've been pet sitting for just over a year now as well.
Hello! My name is Karina, and I’m a 16-year-old sophomore in high school with a true passion for working with kids and pets. There's nothing I love more than creating fun and engaging activities that keep little ones entertained and joyful, while also enjoying the company of our furry friends. When I’m not caring for children and pets, you can find me experimenting in the kitchen with new recipes, staying active through various exercises, or diving into creative crafts. I believe that every moment spent with kids and pets is an opportunity for exploration and fun, and I’m excited to bring that energy to your family! Let’s make some amazing memories together!

I have a strong background in childcare and safety, holding certifications in CPR and a lifeguarding license. My experience includes working at a retirement home, where I developed meaningful connections with residents. Additionally, I have cared for young children, including twin girls aged seven and their two-year-old brother, during long afternoons. Currently, I am a sophomore in high school, maintaining a solid academic record with A's and B's. My passion for animals is evident as I have grown up with two huskies, which has fueled my love for working with pets.
