Karen is a warm and engaging person. She makes you feel at ease as soon as you meet her. Karen is responsible and takes direction well. My kids loved hanging out with her because she is fun and kind. Overall she is trustworthy and very capable. I’d hire her again anytime.

Karen cared for our two children from 2023 to 2024, starting when they were 8 and 3 years old, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a better nanny. She was the perfect combination of loving, responsible, and fun. From the moment she arrived each day, she brought warmth and joy into our home. Our kids adored her - she would tell them stories they’d later repeat to us word-for-word, and she had a magical way of getting them to cooperate (even at bedtime!) with far less resistance than we ever could manage. She was also incredibly thoughtful about their meals, always making sure they had balanced plates and even sending us before-and-after photos to show how well they ate. Karen was nurturing in every sense - while her care for our children was always her top priority, she also helped keep our household running smoothly. She tackled our endless piles of laundry and kept things tidy, and I truly felt her absence in every little way once she moved on. One of the most touching moments came just before she left for California: she surprised the kids at my daughter’s piano recital with matching custom t-shirts she had made, each one printed with a photo of our kids and her dog and the words “I love you.” It was a testament to how deeply she cares and the bond she built with them. We miss her dearly, and I recommend Karen without hesitation to any family lucky enough to welcome her into their lives.

“I recently had the pleasure of hiring a babysitter, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the moment she arrived, she was friendly and professional. She interacted with the kids in such a warm and engaging way, making them feel comfortable and entertained. She handled all situations with patience and care, ensuring everything went smoothly. Overall, I highly recommend her services to anyone in need of a reliable and positive babysitter!” Feel free to adjust any details to better fit your experience!
