About Karen

Experience: 14 yrs

My first experience as a childcare provider is when I was a young teenager. Later, I worked with special needs children as a bus driver and teaching assistant for eight years. I have worked with families who had infants, preschool and school-aged children as a nanny since 2011. I fully enjoy being a nanny and I am in excellent health. It is rewarding to watch children grow responsibly and teach them good life values and habits. My foremost responsibility as a nanny is to ensure that your children are well cared for and protected while in my care. As a mother and a nanny, I understand how our children are so very precious and important to us. The family's I've been with for 2 yrs. has made the tough decision to send their 2. 3 yr. old twin boys to an in-home school with their cousins. My last day is 9-25-2025. Jeanette and Keith have provided me a stellar letter of recommendation Thank you, Karen, I enjoy excellent health.

I would highly recommend Karen as a nanny. She cared for our twin boys from the time they were 3 months old until they were 27 months old. Over those two years she was very attentive and caring to their needs. She adhered to our meal and nap schedules. She is very reliable and dependable, and was always on time. I never had to worry about her attendance. During nap time, she would do their laundry on a weekly basis, along with loading and unloading the dishwasher as well as keeping the kitchen tidy. She has been a great help to our family and I would highly recommend Karen to anyone.
