My Summary
About Me
I am a DBS checked and Care Inspectorate (Wales) registered Nanny/childminder who has relocated from Ireland. I have over 20 years experience working with children of all ages. While I specialise in maternity nursing, caring for newborn babies - including overnights, I look after children in all age groups.
I have a full driving licence and my own car. I am able to collect from school, take children out to play parks, or attractions during school holidays etc.
I am available for long and short term bookings, as well as emergency cover and help at thing such as weddings and parties. Also available for babysitting.

My Experience
I have extensive experience caring for children of all ages, from newborns to older children. As an experienced maternity nanny, I’ve supported families with babies just days old, providing both daytime care and overnight relief. Through my work with a specialised nanny agency in Dublin, I’ve had the privilege of supporting a wide range of families and individuals, including many high-profile clients. I fully understand the importance of discretion and professionalism in all aspects of my work.

My two boys warmed to Karina on their first meeting - she is super fun and after 5 minutes they were all running around playing.
Karina is very professional and communicates very well - always keeping me updated when the boys are in her care and always comes back to me really quickly regarding booking dates/availability, etc.
Really flexible and the kids love her.

Like most parents, you will know by your child reaction about a new person or stranger in your home. Well my two boys absolutely love Karina.
She is fun, polite, caring and interested in the the children she minds.
To return home and have your child happy and safe is great but to see them sad when Karina goes home we’ll, that’s even better as I know she is the lady for the job. She goes above and beyond.
We use Karina regularly and nothing is ever a problem. She is excellent at her job and I would highly recommend her.

Karina was warm, easy company and great with the kids. They were excited to have her to come and babysit again. She worked with any last minute changes and communicated well. We were all really happy to have found her.
