About Karen

64 years old Speaks English
I am a mature mother of 3 wonderful grown up daughters (twins plus 1) who are now in their 30's. I am from Auckland, New Zealand originally and now live in Robina. I LOVE babies, and children, so I have worked as a casual nanny and babysitter for many years, for many different families once my children became independent. I also was a homestay Mum and opened my home for over 10 years, to provide a loving supportive home to overseas young teenage girls from Asia, Europe and South America who were in NZ to learn English as a second language. (I am still waiting for my own grandchildren). I am well organised, and don’t mind doing extras to help with the meals, baths and lunches etc, as I understand the need to also help in the running of the household. I have experience with newborns through to teens, with of course my own children and other people’s. I have excellent references, a WWC blue card, and a Police check. I am also a life coach & business mentor, and understand the importance of being fully present when looking after children, or in fact in any role.
