Welcome, I’m Karli. 

I am so glad you are here.

Childcare isn’t just what I do, it’s what I love. I’ve dedicated most of my adult life to supporting families as a full-charge nanny and trusted babysitter. Over the years, I’ve had the joy of caring for children from newborns to teens, and building long-term relationships. This includes one nanny position that lasted nearly 10 years.

My experience is wide-ranging and includes:

  • Overnight and travel care

  • Potty training and supporting developmental milestones

  • Emotional coaching and behavior support

  • House management and organizational projects

What I’m most proud of, though, are the moments when the children in my care demonstrate the values I work to model every day: empathy, kindness, and emotional regulation.

I don’t believe in cookie-cutter care. Every child is unique and I meet each one exactly where they are. Whether we’re baking, building, or navigating big feelings together, every day brings a new opportunity to grow, laugh, and explore this big, beautiful world.

I choose to practice radical kindness because the world has enough unkind moments.
