About Karen
Experience: 5 yrs
I just love babies! They are little angels. I decided to take early retirement because my daughter is a nurse and had so many problems with unreliable daycare. I was a nanny at that time, but the couple needed me more days, and the commute was too long for a full time position. I have over 5 years experience starting with my own grandchildren and a nanny to a baby girl, from 3 months-18 months. I take the nanny or caregiver position very seriously, but if there is some fun to be had I'm in! The responsibility of another human, isn't taken lightly. I would treat your child as if they were my own. I am very reliable, honest and trustworthy. I have ethics, moral values and integrity. I am upbeat and outgoing, your child will have zero boredom. I have been homeschooling my granddaughter recently, she has trouble reading, We spend hours taking turns. It's a challenge but I find new experiences and challenges make you stronger and a better person.

Karen is very loving, considerate, kind and she always goes the extra mile. I have known Karen for about 30 years and have become closer friends in the last year and a half. We have had many intimate conversations and I know her to be honest and sincere and a person of high moral character. I have frequently been around when she cared for her two grandchildren. She was there full-time caretaker as well as their grandmother. She walked a tight rope between wanting to "spoil" them (is that even possible?) and being a disciplinarian. She gets it right! If you are considering Karen to be a caretaker for your child or children, no matter what their age, Karen can handle it!
