About Karen

Experience: 8 yrs

Nurturing young minds is more than a job for me; it's a passion. For the past eight years, I've dedicated myself to providing engaging and reliable childcare for children aged newborn to 10 years old. I am patient, punctual, calm, creative, friendly, and approachable. I love getting outside and exploring, whether it's going for walks around the neighborhood, visiting local parks, taking trips to the library, or enjoying playdates and time at the playground. I am comfortable with pets and I am First Aid and CPR Training certified. I prioritize open communication with parents, adapting to your preferred method, whether it's a quick chat at pickup or regular updates via text. I also speak Portuguese and Spanish. I look forward to connecting with your family and creating a positive and supportive environment for your little one!

Karen was our nanny for our second girl from age 6-9 months. She is the most reliable, caring, communicative nanny we could hope for. She took our baby through starting solids, cooking her different foods and patiently feeding her. She played lots of developmental games, read book, took her outside on long walks and played in the park every day she could . When I was laid up from surgery Karen was happy to work a lot of extra time which was a huge help. I can’t recommend Karen enough!
