I am a mature, dependable recent college grad with flexible evening/weekend hours and a positive outlook on life. I have over five years experience in babysitting children from a wide age range. I have cared for infants and know how important it is to be attentive and nurturing during their first years. I have also cared for children 7-13 years old and have the energy for their high spirits. I have cared for multiple children at once and am responsible and patient enough to handle them all. I don't just babysit, I am active with the children and teach them new things as I also learn from them. I am most definitely comfortable with any age group but have more experience with infants to 8 year olds. I am fluent in both English and Spanish. I encourage learning and leading a healthy, active lifestyle. I am ok with doing housework.

Karen has babysat for my children on numerous occasions and I couldn't recommend her more. She is punctual, attentive, professional, kind and very caring. My children are always glad to see her arrive and I feel very secure and confident leaving them in her care.

I interviewed Karen and was excited to have a new sitter for our little guy. We set a time and date. That time and date came along, but Karen did not. We had theater tickets at stake and plans for the evening, and she didn't even call, nor has she contacted me in return of my messages, to let me know what had happened. It's a shame it didn't work out. I would have even given her another chance if she would have had the courtesy to return my call and at least apologize.

Karen has helped watch my 15 month old several times and is always great with her. She's been very patient even when my child was being fussy and always helps out around the house doing extras. She always tidies up after playtime and makes sure my child is fed, clean, and happy. I will continue to use her as a babysitter as long as she's available!

Karen took care of our 6 month baby boy on several occasions. Not only that our little one is "in love" with her but also whenever she comes around my husband and I can't stop admiring her sweetness, maturity and passion for kids. She is very diligent with a "can-do" personality and always offering extra help. We are very happy to have this trustworthy and excellent young lady watching our precious one. We recommend her very highly!!! Yelena B.
