About Carolyn

Experience: 5 yrs

I'm a past stay at home mom whose youngest has just gone off to college (a girl and boy each) and am excited to be working again! Though I'm a registered nurse with pediatric experience, I prefer to not return to the hospital setting. I love working with children and helping parents out. I'm great with kids of all ages and adapt well to desired parenting styles and preferences. Creative with activities, active outings, warm demeanor, good at providing structure each day. Great at reading baby's cues to meet their needs, guiding through developmental milestones, introducing solids, and sleep/wake structure. Will work with parents to successfully potty train toddlers. Good experience with balancing infant/toddler siblings. Happy to do house management tasks, errands, and am a good cook. Excellent driver, fully vaccinated, have never smoked, great with pet care.

We had such a great experience with Carolyn! She filled in while our normal daycare was closed for the week and made everything so easy. She was very communicative and reliable, always arriving on time and keeping us updated throughout the day. You can tell she is a seasoned mom and nanny with how well she balanced taking care of our three-year-old and seven-month-old, plus our kindergartener after school. She played with them, set up fun activities, and took them for lots of walks/outdoor time. She even went above and beyond helping with laundry, dishes, and tidying up. We’d definitely recommend her, and look forward to working with her again!
