Hello, my name is Carmen and I am 53 years old. I am a mother of three boys ages 33, 25, and 21. My former work experience was working with 4-month-old and his new born little brother who came 2 years after. Now there 8yrs and 6yrs my nanny duties have expired. I still work with the family on call. Referral upon requests. I have over 15+ years experience being a nanny, working with newborns, toddlers, and housekeeping. I have solid understanding of child development and I'm able to build a healthy routine for the baby. I also do light housekeeping, clean baby bottles, and light laundry. I am CPR/First Aid certified from American Red Cross and certified child care provider from RS Community College. I am a non-smoker. I enjoy and feel comfortable around family pets. I have my own reliable transportation. Helping out parents for their child care needs is my main priority, every experience in a child's life is a learning experience for me.
Carmen is, and will always be, a member of our family. From the very beginning, she seamlessly integrated herself into our home and our daily rhythm in a way that is incredibly rare. We often find ourselves wishing she could stay with us forever, and the only reason we are moving forward is due to timing and budget—not because of any lack on her part. Carmen is exceptionally reliable, punctual, and communicative. She always provides advance notice when time off is needed and communicates clearly and thoughtfully, which made planning and trust effortless. We always knew our daughter was in safe, capable, and loving hands. Her love for our daughter is genuine and evident in everything she does. Carmen works tirelessly each day to educate, care for, and stimulate her through age-appropriate activities, imaginative play, and intentional engagement. Her passion for entertaining and keeping our child busy throughout the day is truly unmatched. She quickly developed a consistent schedule and routine for our daughter and adhered to it, benefiting not only our child’s development but the overall flow and harmony of our household. Carmen goes above and beyond her role as a nanny. She consistently shows up ready for the day, positive, prepared, and proactive. While her primary focus is always our daughter, she naturally helps keep our home running smoothly and treats our household as if it were her own. She is deeply respectful, dependable, and invested in the well-being of our entire family. What sets Carmen apart most is how ingrained she became in our lives and our community. She truly cares, not just about completing tasks, but about forming meaningful relationships and creating a warm, nurturing environment. Any family lucky enough to welcome Carmen into their home will quickly realize they are gaining far more than a nanny—they are gaining a trusted caregiver, a steady presence, and someone who will love and care for their child wholeheartedly. We cannot recommend Carmen highly enough. She has left a lasting imprint on our family, and we are forever grateful for the care, dedication, and love she has given our daughter.
