About Karen
Experience: 10 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
I am a mother of two adult children and the grandmother of a boy that I cared for 4 days a week from the time he was born till he was 3 years old. I have a lot of experience caring for newborns as well as tutoring children ages pre school to 8 years in math, reading and homework assistance. I owned a catering business that had a child's birthday party division, I bring fun and creativity to the table. I am experienced with making homemade baby food for infants and meal planning. I am available for part-time or occasional sitting. I love children and enjoy helping them reach their full potential. I am happy to provide a background check and references. I am vaccinated and have had CPR and first aid training.

Karen nannied for us one day a week this year while our daughter was 4 months to 9 months old. She was timely, professional, and experienced, but most of all we could tell that she really cared about our daughter- she developed a sweet bond with her and made helpful suggestions as we are first time parents.
