About Kari
Experience: 10 yrs
Hi , I have worked with children in some capacity my whole life. I've been a Nanny, A part - time babysitter, A Sunday School teacher, Ministry Leader. I have worked in our Community supporting Other Moms (Moms Club) What can I say I just love kids. I also love everything culinary , including healthy meal planning. I also have my own part time business making organic products and a passion for organic eating and a healthier lifestyle. I am CPR certified and infant care and also have experience in Montessori teaching techniques, as well as recent experience with my current family ( Whom I am very close too and still occasionally work for on the weekends) I loved them as treated me like a member of there family. And I'm looking for the same welcoming environment as I transition into my new role as your new Nanny !
Most recent review
I would like to wholeheartedly recommend Kari to anyone looking to hire an extraordinary nanny. Kari worked with our family as a nanny for two years. During this time, she cared for our son Julian from the time he was 5 months old until he was 2.5 years old. She was also very good with our dog, Lola. She quickly became an invaluable part of our household. Kari is exceptionally reliable, patient, and attentive. She consistently provided a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment for our son, always balancing structure with warmth. Our son absolutely adores her, and we have seen firsthand how she encourages learning, creativity, and positive behavior through kindness and clear communication. In addition to daily care, Kari handled meal preps, laundry, activities, and light household tasks with great responsibility and initiative. She is calm under pressure, communicates clearly, and can be trusted to make thoughtful decisions in any situation. What truly sets Kari apart is her genuine love for children and strong sense of professionalism. We always felt confident leaving our son in her care, knowing they were not only safe but truly cared for. We are incredibly grateful for the time Kari spent with our family and highly recommend her without hesitation. She would be a wonderful asset to any family.
