I am a very experienced child care provider with an Early Childhood Education degree, certification in CPR and excellent recent reviews and references. My ideal job consist of working 3 to 4 days per week, totaling 14-20 hours. Currently, I am also available to do one-time child care or to take a temporary position. I've been a part time and full time nanny, substituted in area daycare centers and have had an emergency child care service. I believe that young children learn through play, their daily routines and by example. They should be treated with respect and thoughtfulness. I am healthy, energetic, reliable and kind. My specialty is infants and young babies . My resume and references are available upon request. If you are expecting or if you have a young baby, I am the ideal candidate for helping your family.

We were so fortunate to have Karen as our part-time nanny from February through August of 2025. After only a short time, she felt like part of our family like a third grandma to our son, H.

Karen is punctual, professional, and always communicative whenever she needed time off. She engaged H in age-appropriate play, was happy to hold him for contact naps, and before long she was helping him nap longer than we could manage ourselves. She also kindly lent us a play table her grandkids had used, which H loved.

Karen’s energy and capability far exceeded our expectations, and her warmth meant so much to our family that we invited her to celebrate H first birthday with us. We wholeheartedly recommend her to any family looking for a dependable, skilled, and deeply caring nanny.

Karen is absolutely incredible. She has watched our son from the time he was about 4 months old and he is currently 21 months and she still helps us! She has immense experience, is creative, trustworthy, and energetic. Our son adores her - as do my husband and I! She assisted in introducing our son to new foods, helped him learn to crawl then walk, learn to talk, learn colors, and more. She truly shows she cares about children and I cannot recommend her enough!

Karen cared for our son from ages three months until seven months, when we moved out of the area. She was wonderful with him-experienced, intuitive, and caring. She knew how to support his development at every stage and helped him explore his environment safely. We worked from home during that time, and we learned so much just from watching her. Her experience and knowledge don't detract from the fact that she was an excellent listener and flexible to our family's specific needs.  We can't recommend her enough!

Karen is a fantastic nanny. She has been incredibly warm and caring with my son. Throughout her time with us, Karen helped my son's development in many ways, thinking of new activities to help him grow. She is very flexible and accommodating to the environment, and goes above and beyond what is asked of her.

Karen is the best nanny you could possibly find for your little one, especially during a pandemic. She is conscientious, kind, thoughtful, and easy to communicate with. I worked from home and was around a lot of the time and we got along great. She loves my little guy like one of her own!

Energetic. Organized. Dependable. Flexible. These are just a few of the traits that make Karen such an amazing caregiver. My husband and I were lucky enough to hire Karen to take care of our daughter (our first child) from when she was 2 months old. Now, nine months later, we're in the unfortunate position of having to find a new nanny since we're relocating. Karen has a wonderful attitude. That, paired with her years of experience as both a childcare provider and grandmother, make her uniquely qualified. As a first time mom, I found myself asking her for advice regarding my daughter's sleep and feeding schedule, and Karen was always willing to offer input without being overbearing and at the same time respecting my perspective. She was never late and always left our house as clean as it was when she arrived (at the very least). Leaving my daughter in Karen's care felt like leaving her with a trusted family member. We will miss her greatly. 

We feel so lucky to have found Karen. She has cared for our 11-month-old son now for several months and they have bonded well. Karen is very respectful of our routines and preferences and is a great communicator. She is reliable, positive, and energetic. Our son clearly enjoys being with her and I feel great about the care she provides. You would be lucky to work with Karen. We spoke with several of Karen's references before hiring her. Based on her references and our first-hand experience, I know that Karen has years of experience caring for children of many ages and is a truly outstanding caregiver.

Karen was amazing!  She showed up right on time to sit for our 19-month-old in our hotel, and successfully distracted him out of a tantrum when we left by getting him to look at birds out the window.  Later she found the perfect entertainment for a ball-obsessed boy who loves to watch things fall down -- bowling on ESPN! (I had said that age-appropriate television was fine, as they were stuck in a hotel room while we attended an event.)  Miracle of miracles, she even got him to sleep in the hotel Pack n' Play, which I had doubted would even be possible.  We would definitely hire Karen again the next time we're in the area.

Karen seems great after just one week, and we hope to use her again. She is responsible, caring, very experienced, reliable, the whole package!

We were so happy & lucky to have found Karen.  She has cared for our daughter since our daughter was 10 weeks old and is now 19 months.  Since our daughter was so young we put Karen "through the ringer" regarding the interview and what we asked of her and she just shined and quickly earned our absolute trust with out little one.  Karen absolutely adores children and that is obvious.  She also knows children very well.  Our daughter never kept a routine so we advised Karen "just look for signs that she is tired and then put her down" and that is exactly what Karen did.  She learned to read our daughter very well.  Our daughter just loves Karen.  When she comes over our daughter giggles and laughs and gets so excited. Karen always shows up and on time.  She is also very flexible regarding her working ours which was helpful with our work schedules.  I can't think of any ways to improve upon a care giver for your child.
