About Karen

Experience: 5 yrs

Hello families! I'm Karen, a 27-year-old nanny in Alexandria. I chose this career because I love supporting children's curiosity, emotional growth, and confidence as they discover the world. I'm patient, compassionate, and focused on creating a calm, loving environment where every child feels safe, happy, and encouraged in each milestone. With over 5 years of experience caring for infants, toddlers, and school-age children, I enjoy planning fun, learning-based activities like arts & crafts, outdoor play, and early-learning moments tailored to each stage. I also love introducing simple Spanish words like "gracias" and "por favor" to spark interest in a new language and culture. I'm fluent in English and Spanish, CPR and First Aid certified for infants and children, and I enjoy cooking and baking as part of daily routines. I value strong communication with parents and always treat every child with patience, warmth, and genuine care-becoming a supportive part of the family team.

Karen is an amazing nanny! We have a 20 month old girl and a 6 weeks old baby and Karen is incredible with both. She has such a calm, loving energy, and our kids absolutely love her!
