Sincerely, Miss Karen   Here are some more reviews from families I worked with as a Nanny or Babysitter: Lauren H. Karen was our nanny for 2 years and was a great part of our family. She is reliable, dependable, and great with kids. She created a great schedule of activities for our kids and always kept them busy and learning. She taught them great manners and life skills and has been a great part of our family. Karen cared for our kids, helped with household laundry, helped care for our dog, and ran errands for us. We would highly recommend Karen. Mark D Karen was a great caregiver for our 2 boys (5 and 3). She worked for us fro a few months while our regular daily caretaker was unable to work. Karen was always on time and worked around our schedule changes very well. Our boys liked her very much and she even brought over board games to play with them. We enjoyed our experience with Karen very much. Nov 12th, 2016 Adina Karen was great with our girls, 3 and 1. She was looking for something full time and we had a need for only 23.5 hours. She helped us out for a few days until we found another person. She was reliable, always on time or early.

To whom it may concern I am writing to express my interest in the position of Nanny. I understand from your ad you are looking for an experienced, qualified, and caring nanny. I meet all your listed requirements and believe would make a good nanny. I have years of experience as a nanny for two families. In addition to two full-time nanny positions, I have worked as a preschool and daycare teacher with children from infants to 4 and 5 years old. I love children and enjoy their company immensely and find nothing is more rewarding than taking care of them. I believe in creating a positive, happy environment for children, one in which they feel protected and can thrive. I have good organizational and communication skills, which I believe are among the most important skills for a nanny. I completed a CPR and First Aid training . I believe such knowledge is important and can be a life saver. I am deeply interested in working for you, and hope you will give me a chance to meet you in person to discuss my candidacy in detail. By the way, my last nanny job was for a wonderful family in Glencoe . I stayed with them for six and a half years. Dorota Zukowski
