Experience: 3 yrs
After a long career in nonprofit work, I have decided to focus on caregiving. I am the very proud Mom of an adult son who is my greatest accomplishment- ok my husband helped too! I have been a caregiver for many years because my husband was diagnosed with MS early in our marriage. I have made the conscious decision to step back in my career to serve families.
Karen has been such a wonderful addition to our family this September. She has cared for our boys, ages 16 months and 4 years, while my husband and I work from home, and the bond she’s built with them means so much to us. Our 4-year-old used to be apprehensive about nannies and babysitters. Now he wakes up asking, “Is it a Karen day?” and squeals with joy when she arrives. She treats both boys like family, and they absolutely adore her. Karen puts so much thought into their days, bringing crafts, games and books and planning activities that keep them engaged. By the end of the day, the boys are happily exhausted and full of stories. She is our modern-day Mary Poppins, and we feel incredibly lucky to have found her. We hope she’ll care for the boys every time we’re at our home in Rhode Island. I can’t recommend her highly enough!
