About Karen

Experience: 10 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

Hi! Lovely to meet you my name is Karen. I am the oldest of three and the first grandchild in my family. I have an age gap of over 10 years with my siblings, so I was able to support my mom from the newborn stage all the way through the teenage years. (Yes, I changed tons of diapers and I taught both of my siblings how to walk!) I did a lot of babysitting and nannying for my mom's friends and for acquaintances of ours. I still keep in touch with a few of the families I've nannied for! I've also worked at a senior care facility, during COVID, no less. I am patient, caring, and I understand that being a parent is a full-time job. It never ends. I'm here to help! Need help tidying? Done. Need help meal prepping? Got it! Need someone to just give you a chance to nap? Let's turn on Ms. Rachel so you can get some rest! I'm excited to meet you and your little one(s), but I'm even more excited to simply be able to help YOU!

I met Karen through a mutual work friend around 6ish years ago. My husband and I worked full time and I was struggling to adapt being a first time mom. Karen first started as just someone that would come in and help me and my husband get a few hours of rest. It quickly turned into her being our full time nanny. She mainly helped us with our toddler’s feeding schedule, light meal prep for him, watching him regularly, and of course bonding and playing with him. She always came through last minute too!!!! We really appreciate all she’s done for us and we wish she would have stayed in Indy, but I know she’s doing well in FW! We miss her and A. misses her too. Thank you Karen!!!!
