About Karina

Experience: 10 yrs

I've been working with children professionally since 2008. I have experience as a teacher, household manager, nanny, lactation educator, sleep consultant, postpartum doula, parent coach and newborn care specialist. I have worked with multiples, trans racial adoption, parents with highly demanding positions, work at home parents, children with disabilities and many other unique family situations. I hold a degree in Early Childhood Education and a degree in Child Development. I know the basics of (baby) Sign Language and Spanish. I'm also a huge advocate of the outdoors. I have a naturalist, child led viewpoint, and I try not to force children to do things that they aren't ready for (loosely based on the RIE philosophy). Some words I would use to describe myself would be: Fun, gentle, responsible and kind. I have been featured as a nanny in an article in a well regarded Boston newspaper, and I've been referred to as "Mary Poppins" by my employers.

I have had the pleasure of working with Karina in many capacities since my son was born. Whether overnight newborn care, nannying or sleep training Karina's knowledge, experience, and personality shine through. She is a natural with the baby and has been a complete rock for myself as a first time Mom! If you have the opportunity to work with her, don't miss your chance!
