Hello Bay Area families! 

I was born and raised in San Francisco. I'm the eldest of 7, and I have 16 years of professional nanny experience working for families all over the Bay Area. In addition to my nanny experience, I'm also a mom to a 13-year-old. 

I truly enjoy working with children. I am experienced with all ages ranging from newborn to school age. I'm great at creating a routine that works for everyone. I plan daily outings to story time, playgrounds, museums, and playdates. I believe a child learns best through play and teaching kindness towards others. 

If you have any questions regarding my experience, please don't hesitate to ask. Thank you for reading, and have a wonderful day! :)

KC is a natural with kids and a wonderful person to be around. We have really enjoyed having her look after our daughter and she looks forward to spending time with KC every time. I highly recommend KC for your childcare needs! 

Unfortunately, we had a major issue with reliability. KC committed to 4 days of care while I was away for work and canceled at the very last minute on the final day, leaving us without coverage. This caused a lot of stress for our family. While she was truly wonderful with our son—warm, attentive, and engaging—I wouldn’t recommend her for families who need dependable, consistent care. It's important to know she may not be someone you can count on in a pinch.

very sweet and great with the the kids :) 

KC is an absolute gem! We were looking for support for 3 only weeks and it happened to work out that KC was available. We have a happy 6mo old that loves to play and not so much to sleep, so we as tired parents needed some extra hands. KC not only helped care for our baby (holding for contact naps, park visits, tummy time, books, practicing sitting) but also was an incredible sounding board and provided moral support as we went through nap training and solids. Highly recommend KC!!!!! 

K.C. was kind, thoughtful, honest and proactive in her care of our 5-6mo old girl. I felt really comfortable with her taking care of our sweet girl, and she offered tips, tools and gentle suggestions that helped us so much. We are grateful for the time we had with her as our nanny and would recommend her to any family! 

Karen is an all-star nanny with both bottles and parents. She is an effective communicator, offering guidance and advice that was particularly helpful for me as a new parent. She looked after our son from infant months to toddler years as a babysitter on nights and weekends for date nights and other outings. We didn’t trust many people, but Karen is gentle, kind, and fun with our son. She strikes a good balance between play and routine and always left our home tidier than when she arrived. If only our work schedules were different, we wish we could work with Karen as our full time nanny. 

KC is truly one of a kind. She cares about my son as if he is her own. I feel 100% comfortable when he is under her care. KC has made such a positive impact on our lives in the two months she has been with us!

She cared for our first daughter starting at 4 months and our second daughter starting at 3 months. I wish we could keep her with us longer but we’ve had a schedule shift and it doesn’t work anymore.
She is kind, thoughtful, attentive, pays close attention to detail, and communicates well. She impressed me from the first time we spoke with her professionalism and warmth. She is great at sending updates and photos through the day. Both of our daughters took to her immediately, and love spending time with her.

Karen watches our 4 year old daughter for occasional babysitting. She does a great job and our daughter has a fun time with her. Karen is very interactive, engaging, and responsible. She is warm, supportive, and easy to have around. Would absolutely recommend. 

Karen helped us twice on weekends and was wonderful with our sons. They instantly warmed to her, and she taught us things. She seemed very experienced with baby milestones and had a relaxed and happy demeanor which was nice.

Karen is professional and knowledgeable about children and their age appropriate behaviors. You can tell she has experience caring for little ones. She is so sweet and patient. My daughter was extremely shy when she first met Karen but by the end of the morning she was hugging Karen's leg and even let Karen put her down for a nap without any meltdowns. I will definitely be using Karen again in the future.

KC was very friendly and easy to work with. She took care of our daughter for 2 days, and our kid loved hanging out with her. She's quick to communicate and made sure to send us photos,  share her tips, etc. Would highly recommend!

Karen watched our 5 year old son for an afternoon. She was really warm and engaged. My son was really shy in the beginning but Karen helped him feel comfortable. She brought new games for him to play and kept the afternoon fun. Karen was a great communicator and always quick to respond. We would definitely hire her again!

Karen was great with our 2.5 year old twins. She was very responsive while coordinating and our toddlers had a blast with her all day. Would absolutely hire again.

She watched my two children overnight while I was away on a business trip and their mother was at work. She communicated with us often, showed up on time, and the kids enjoyed her company. We would definitely use her services again. Thank you again for helping us out!

KC watched our 1 year-old son full time while my husband and I worked from home for 1 week before the Holidays. She arrived on time and was in charge of my son's diapering, meals, and entertainment. KC went above and beyond to understand our family's needs and style before the week started; she provided references that gave her glowing reviews. We had previously worked with temp nannies and had decided to hide from our son/nanny so he wouldn't cry inconsolably. KC totally switched it up, worked her magic, and by day 2 we were able to come out of hiding! She truly was amazing at keeping our son engaged and making us feel like he was safe all the time; she took him to story time at the Library and little guy had a blast! Our family looks forward to working with KC again :)

Karen is a wonderful babysitter. Our daughter loved spending time with her. She is punctual, caring and fun.

Karen was wonderful with our 2yo son! He was nervous about having a babysitter for the first time but warmed up quickly to Karen and still randomly asks about her long after she watched him. She is professional, punctual and sweet. She also left our house tidier than when we left. Would love to work with her again!
