Teacher Carrina
What folks are saying..."Carrina was the very first non family member I felt comfortable with taking care of my daughter. It says A LOT about Carrina that I trusted her enough to do so as an anxious first time mom. I knew my daughter would be not only safe and lovingly cared for but that she would have wonderful new experiences and learn so much under Carrina’s care. Carrina is always full of energy - singing, dancing, laughing and generally bringing the fun to any occasion. And she knows kids and how they think."- Portland Parent
"My children and I love Carrina and her family! She is warm, caring, fun and colorful. Her background in education compliments her creative personality. She really has a passion for the little ones! Your children will feel safe and are in good hands with Carrina!" - Local Parent
