Hello families!

My name is Karen and I am an educated and experienced childcare provider with many years working either as a nanny, nursery school teacher or preschool teacher.

At this time I am transitioning to infant care and have completed training in newborn care with Newborn Care Solutions.

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

In addition to working as a nanny through the years I have also worked as a preschool teacher and I have taken many early childhood education as well as child development classes and training. In short, my experience is extensive.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Art, nature exploration, trips to the park, museum, library, reading, singing, playing games, pretend play, cooking projects, sensory activities, puzzles, and following their interests

The most important part about being a nanny...

It is important to know what values a family holds and then to reinforce their values while I work/play with their children, that is why it is also important that the match between family and their nanny be a good one. For example, I need to work for a family who values positive disciple and does not use corporal punishment as a way to discipline their children for it goes against my values. In addition, it is important that a nanny meets the needs of not only the children but makes life run more smoothly for the whole family.

My experience with special needs children...

I worked as a one-on-one teaching assistant for the County of Sonoma in California. I was part of a team of professionals working with individual preschoolers whom were diagnosed as being on the Autism Spectrum. I attended my students preschools with them as an aide and worked with them in their homes to help them meet educational and developmental goals.

The most important part about being a nanny...

There are too many to say one moment as a nanny is my favorite so I will pick “one” of my favorite moments. There is one memory in particular of a 10-month-old baby girl I was bathing who picked up the wash cloth and scrubbed the bottom of her foot. It was very endearing to see her care for herself in such a detailed manner. It was really cute!
