Hi! I am a 56 yo mother of 4 grown children. I live between 529 and highway 6 in Houston. I have been nannying for 13 yrs and come with great references. I love kids and animals! I don't smoke, have a spotless driving record and am very dependable. I have been a nanny to ages 2 mths to 12 years.

I'd describe my personality as outgoing, dependable and loving

I like working with kids because it is a rewarding job to help raise a child. They are loving and amazing!

I'm looking for a job that treats me as more than just a nanny but as part of the family.

I started working with kids when I lived in Washington state in 2014.

In my spare time, I like to garden and read.

One thing you should know about me is I get attached. I treat your child as if it were my own.

My skills include always teaching and helping your child grow/learn.
Loving and caring for your child.
Being dependable and trustworthy

Carol is a kind, polite, punctual, and playful caregiver. She helps in any way she can. 

Carol took care of our 1 year old daughter for multiple months leading up to her starting daycare. Carol is very sweet, always on time, and personable. Our daughter loves her and even to this day she helps us for date nights and sick days. 

Carol was wonderful with our daughters! She treated them as if they were her own. She took them to the neighborhood park, remembered from visit to visit what games/activities they enjoyed, and was attentive and warm. We miss her!

Carol does wonderfully with our two very active boys, ages three and one. As well as our two hyper fur kid puppies. She's caring, patient, and thoughtful. Always arrives early to help us as we try and get out of the house in the morning, and also takes the time to talk about the boys needs each day. She's adapted to our note-taking system, consistently communicates, cooks meals, and takes on light cleaning or laundry folding when the boys are napping.  When the weather is nice she takes them on exploration walks or to the park. Carol has become part of the family and our kids light up when they see her.  

I was visiting family from out of state and I needed a sitter for a day while I worked remotely from my family's house.  Carol was awesome!  She was very punctual ( a few minutes early), professional, kind and caring with my daughter (20 months old).  She was especially great with helping my daughter warm up to her easily and quickly.  I was expecting it be very challenging since my daughter knew I'd be working in the house but Carol was able to play with her and keep her from looking for me without any fussing. :) She was able to feed her and put her down for a nap without any fussing as well, which I think is great considering that day was the first time my daughter had met Carol.  I will definitely use Carol when  I visit my family and need to work remotely again.  Thank you again, Carol!

We have been using Carol as a regular sitter for about a month now and love her! She always shows up a few minutes early and is very dependable. Our toddler has had a hard time with the new schedule and Carol has gone out of her way to reach out and find ways to connect with her and make the transition easier.

We had Carol as a full time after school nanny/house manager for almost a year.  It was so nice to come home to a clean house, often cooked meals and to have someone that I could email during the day as I thought of some random one off thing that needed to be done.  She ran errands such as tracking down tree cutting permits as well as grocery and other shopping.  It was super nice to have her already at the house in times when kids had to come home from school early due to being sick.  She helped the kids with homework as well as came up with fun craft projects to do with them.  Carol has the straightest moral compass of anyone I know.  I don't think I've ever heard her cuss, and she of course doesn't smoke.  She's the sweetest person you'll meet and the girls absolutely loved her.  She even kept the girls overnight at her place a few times so that we could have a night out.

In the end we needed more specialized help for our daughter who has clinical ADHD and is struggling in math.  And unfortunately the budget wasn't such that we could afford to keep Carol full time in addition to more targeted tutoring.  Carol did a great job overseeing all of her other lessons though, so this is likely not an issue unless you have a child entering the Algebra realm who is also struggling plus has focus issues.

I highly recommend Carol as a babysitter or nanny. She was fantastic with my daughter. She had a wonderful time with Carol. I loved that Carol took her out to do things and kept her active in their time together. I will definitely use her again and highly recommend her to anyone who requires child care.

Carol was fantastic. My kids had lots of fun, and the house was spotless and the next day they asked to have her back next time I need a sitter. Couldn't be happier with her.
