About Karlene

Experience: 3 yrs

I have 18 years of experience as a career nanny and 11 years as a housekeeper, with extensive skills in meal preparation for a variety of cuisines, including vegetarian, kosher, and nut-free options. I am also experienced in preparing meals as needed. Throughout my career, I have cared for children ranging in age from 1 month to 16 years, including premature infants, twins, multiple siblings, and nanny shares. I have worked in households of various sizes, including those with three stories and over 10 rooms. Childcare has always been a passion of mine. In addition to childcare, I excel at managing households efficiently, ensuring everything runs smoothly with little to no supervision. My attention to detail and organizational skills make me highly adaptable to any family's needs. In my free time, I enjoy cooking, baking, hiking, swimming, and staying active through sports. I am CPR and AED certified, ensuring the safety and well-being of the children in my care.

Our family worked with Karlene for three months, caring for our son from approximately 7 to 10 months old. During that time, she was excellent with him—highly attentive, calm, playful, patient, and nurturing. I felt completely comfortable leaving our son fully in her care. Karlene was especially thoughtful around feeding and daily routines. She regularly prepared new, healthy foods for our son, which he loved, and was always open to our feedback as his needs evolved. She adapted easily when requirements or schedules changed and worked collaboratively with us as parents. Beyond childcare, Karlene was extremely proactive around the home. She created and executed a weekly meal plan, handled grocery shopping from start to finish, cooked dinners nightly, and often anticipated household needs without prompting—whether restocking groceries, preparing for visiting family, or deep-cleaning appliances when needed. Karlene was consistently punctual, dependable, and easy to communicate with. I would absolutely recommend her to other families, especially those with infants or first-time parents looking for a reliable, caring, and very knowledgable nanny.
