Karen has been a wonderful nanny to our 1.5 year old. She is endlessly patient, tremendously kind, and my daughter thrives with her (even though she is not an easy kiddo). Karen is also extremely dependable and easy to communicate with. Her agnostic views work really well with our family's values and she embraces our concern for clean eating and getting outside as much as possible as well. We are so happy with Karen!
