About Karen

Experience: 8 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

Hi! I'm Karen and I'm looking for a full time live out nanny position. My current position with a family on the UWS is ending as they are moving out of NYC. A bit about me: I'm from Brazil, speak Portuguese, CPR certified, and have experience with kids 2-19. My previous nanny jobs have given me experience in potty training, managing schedules, and meal prepping. I also studied engineering in Brazil which means I can promote learning STEM concepts. Arts are also a field that interests so I am always planning craft activities, painting and drawing. If you feel like I would be a good fit for your family, please get in touch. I'm looking forward to hearing from you!

Karen was sent to us from heaven! She has been a beloved part of our family for over two years. She has been caring for our 4 year old daughter since she was 2. We are moving to Connecticut and want her to come with us but the commute will be too much for her and she prefers to remain in NYC. We can't adequately state how wonderful she has been for our daughter and for our entire family. She is extremely reliable, always on time, flexible, good-natured, loving, honest, has a good sense of humor and most importantly her approach with our daughter has been outstanding. She keeps her safe at all times and our daughter loves and respects her. She enjoys taking our daughter to play dates, picnics, museum trips, etc in addition to typical daily responsibilities. As an added bonus, she is an excellent cook and likes to regularly cook for our family during any available "down time". She is fluent (really) in English and Portuguese. Our family, friends, neighbors and strangers always comment on how lucky we are to have her (and we agree). We are going to miss her sorely, as she has become an important member of our family. If you are in need of a nanny, we wholeheartedly recommend her without any reservation, and only wish we could take her with us in our move to Connecticut. If she advances in the process with anyone who is reading this, would be more than happy to speak with you and provide a reference. Please feel free to contact us with any questions, as my wife or I would be happy to discuss over the phone or in person.
