About Karen

Experience: 10 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

Hello, I have been working as a nanny/house manager with my current family for 15 years. The kids are now ages 17(who is in the picture with me and was only 2 when I started!)and a 20-year-old girl who is away at college. When they were younger, did school pickup, took them to activities, snacks, lunches, and everything involved in childcare duties. I do a variety of errands, walk dogs, house sit/pet sit, light laundry, keep house tidy, water plants, maintain vehicles, contact repairman, airport shuttling, whatever is needed to keep the household running smoothly! I have lots of energy, am conscientious, trustworthy, reliable, like to stay active, and have a cheerful disposition! Also enjoy being around animals! I will be starting part time in January, and will have Tuesdays and Thursdays available, as well as occasional evenings and weekends. I have excellent references and am looking forward to hearing from you!

Karen has been our daughter's nanny since she was 4 months old. She is now almost a year old and we have had the best experience with Karen. She is 100% dependable, kind, caring, reliable, and just all round a lovely person to have around. I don't believe she called in sick even once the whole time we worked with her. Our daughter loves her and so do we! Karen keeps her on a solid schedule and they spend their time together playing outside, reading books, and having fun together. Karen always keeps her entertained and happy. Our cat also loves her and she has done house and pet sitting for us on many occasions. We feel great leaving everything in her capable hands. Our work situation changed but if it changes back, we would be asking Karen back as our nanny in a heartbeat. We'll certainly be asking her to do baby sitting now and then as well has house and pet sitting. She's wonderful!
