Hello! I am a retired Registered Nurse with 30 years of newborn and pediatric experience. I retired last year to take care of my grand baby due to lack of daycare. It was the best year of my life! My daughter and son in law are in the military and have moved away, and now I have a lot of available time. I thought about returning to the newborn nursery or pediatric office, but I don’t really want the 12 hour shifts anymore, and am only looking for part-time work. I am CPR certified, have previous nanny experience, 4 grown children of my own, and love pets and dogs. I am a pro at feeding, bathing, swaddling, and soothing babies. Believe it or not, I even like doing laundry and some light housekeeping when the baby is napping! I am very energetic, love to walk, sing, read, and play developmental Read more games. Even though I have a lot of experience, I am able to do whatever your wishes and plans are for your child. My goal is to help you to provide a loving, safe, healthy, fun environment for your child that makes you feel comfortable and assured. I have a reliable car, up to date vaccinations, and I am very cleanliness oriented due to my nursing background. References available upon request . I know it is scary finding reliable, trustworthy care for your child. I look forward to answering any questions you may have and hope to connect with the right family.. Sincerely, Karen
