Rather than describe myself, here’s a letter of recommendation a former client wrote: Karen Colahan was an invaluable part of our lives for four wonderful years; having her with us was nothing short of a blessing. When our company gave us an opportunity for professional development in the US, my daughter was merely five years old. We moved from Europe, juggling office work with frequent travels, which had become the norm for both my husband and me, making it imperative to find trustworthy and reliable assistance. After encountering several disappointments in our search, my Blue Bell Country Club neighbor recommended Karen.   From the moment Karen entered our lives, she proved to be the ideal support I had always hoped for. We navigated together through the second, third, fourth, and fifth grades of elementary school. Karen's punctuality, reliability, and honesty were unwavering, even during last-minute emergencies or schools closures when Read more weather warnings arose. Unlike other teenage babysitters absorbed in their phones and games, Karen actively engaged with my child, spending quality time reading, conversing, and doing homework together. This was particularly crucial during the primary school stage when a bilingual child requires assistance in improving speaking, understanding, and reading skills. Thanks to Karen's dedication, my daughter's perception of books transformed from mandatory 10-minute reading to her daily pleasure. Whether I was traveling or working late from the office, I never worried about my daughter's safety and well-being. I returned home without the worry of overseeing her lessons or homework, as Karen took charge. She drove and accompanied my daughter to after-school activities and provided homework assistance, fostering a friendship that endures to this day.   I am grateful to Karen for ensuring that the time spent with my child was enriching, avoiding the trap of excessive television. I wholeheartedly recommend Karen to any working mom, which can be easily confirmed by numerous families in BBCC where we lived who were lucky to have worked with her.
