Karmen has been a fantastic nanny for our son for the past 15 months, since he was 10 months old. When she first started working with us, our son was showing the first signs of picky eating. She concocted tofu and fruit pancakes which he loved and since then has been feeding him all sorts of great and varied foods - from tamales to lasagna to turkey sandwiches.

She is very intuitive and figured out to let our son try things for himself when he falls into a tantrum at having his diaper changed for example or getting into the car seat or stroller. The result: he now buckles his own car seat, wants to wipe his own bottom.

Karmen helped us through a challenging transition as well: moving to a new house. We have trusted her not only with our boy but also with our car, our credit card, our home. She has managed the comings and goings of contractors working on the new house, and run endless errands for me, somehow with our son in tow, something I am never able to accomplish.

She has a nice style with discipline, firm but gentle and truly I credit her with taming our little wild man. He sits at the table and holds a fork now, he sleeps in his crib, many things would not be as they are here if not for Karmen's gentle and persistent work. I was eating on the floor with this child, covered in tears and oatmeal not long ago and she was a calming influence, managing my tantrums as a new mom as well as my son's.

Karmen is relentlessly on time, she rarely calls in sick, and is dependable as they come, as well as flexible. If you need to be late, just text her! If we were not into the pre-school zone with our son and also now focusing more on his spanish language, we would keep her on the payroll.

I have traveled with her on two occasions to visit my parents out of state and she was so helpful in the airports and on our trip.

I cannot recommend her highly enough and hope this letter will support her in finding a wonderful new family.
