Karen is highly respected by her peers and previous employers through Queens Nanny Agencies.

"I am an energetic person who loves children! I enjoy reading to and playing with them in such activities as finger painting and making crafts, blowing bubbles, trips to the local playground, etc. I understand the importance of a loving home environment. As a teacher, I also understand the importance of education, even for infants. Allowing children to explore their environment on their own in a safe and nurturing way is important for their growth and development. If I was asked to describe in one sentence the reason I have chosen to be in the Nanny profession over any other it would have to be because I love taking care of children. I have been serving in some form of childcare experience for over 10 years and can honestly say I love what I do! My goal as a Nanny is to protect and nurture all children in my care so I can help them grow and learn in a safe environment. I am willing to do housekeeping that includes cleaning up after the children and laundry. If I had to describe myself in five adjectives I would say that I am creative, patient, nurturing, loyal, and trustworthy. Activities that I would like to incorporate in the daily plan for the family I care for would include arts and crafts time, reading time, music time, and outdoor play. If I was asked to describe the perfect family seeking a nanny like me, I hope they would be kind! I would work well with any Queens Nanny Agencies."

"I can highly recommend Karen as a childcare provider. Karen cared for my boy and girl twins from the time they were 5 months old until they were 2 ½ years old. Their father and I worked long hours on top of enduring long commutes. It was very important to me to find someone dependable, punctual, loving and committed. Karen delivered on all of my hopes and needs. She is wonderful with both of my children. She is extremely knowledgeable about children and has a wonderful rapport with them. The biggest strength I found is that Karen was able to get my children onto a schedule and stick with that schedule. There were no surprises when I came home, every day was exactly how we had requested it and Karen was very meticulous in making sure our needs were met. When I left my children with Karen, I knew they would not only be safe but they would be loved. She would send me updates throughout the day, send me pictures on my phone and showered them with love and attention as though they were her own. Some of the various tasks Karen had were bathing the children, preparing breakfast, lunch, and dinner for them, reading to them, taking them to the park or to my various family members for play dates, driving them to classes (extremely safe and reliable driver), arts and crafts projects, dressing the kids, doing their laundry, organizing their clothes, keeping their kitchen items updated, occasional food shopping, keeping lists of food/clothes needed, taking them to doctor’s appointments, the list goes on. She was reliable in all tasks. Both of my children love her, and their father and I both hold her in the highest regard. Choosing someone to care for your children is a very important decision. I had a very difficult time prior to bringing Karen into our home and after everything fell right into place and gave me back the confidence that I needed that my kids were going to be ok without me at home. I would highly recommend Karen to any family, especially those with the special needs that twins can bring. She is calm, cool, collected and ready to become a member of your family."

"Karen was a wonderful preschool teacher! She was able to manage all of the children even though it was a most difficult group. She is smart, creative, and the children found her to be lots of fun! Karen is a very giving person. She even helped me with some of my work. Karen was a great addition to our school, and I know she will be an even better addition to your home!"

"Karen has been a part of our lives for approximately 8 years. My daughter has been fortunate to have her as her childcare provider since her birth! We feel as a family that Karen is bright, reliable, affectionate and extremely responsible in caring for our two children. Due to the nature of her personality and her studies in education, she has been an asset to our children's lives (and ours). Because of her education she has also turned into a part time tutor for our son Zachary. Although she is like family to him, she has been able to teach and reach him in this capacity and it has been a tremendous asset to his schooling. She is able to maintain structures and our personal philosophies of our household while also thinking independently when having to make decisions when we are not there. Our children feel loved and well taken care of as well as having someone who is willing to get dirty with them and have fun. I feel she not only understands our children and their needs, but also understands the dynamics of our family and what we deem important. Karen is a unique and special person and any family would be very lucky to have her!"

"Karen was recommended to me as a tutor for my daughter at the time she was entering second grade. From the start, it was apparent that Karen is not only an excellent tutor, but first and foremost, she has a love for children! My daughter was nervous at the prospect of having a tutor, but after a short time, she grew to love learning from Karen and being with her! Over the years, my daughters's grades not only in math but all of her subjects have been excellent. This in a large part is due to Karen. In tutoring my daughter in math, Karen took into account her age and her learning capability and planned lessons accordingly. She realized that math was not my daughter's favorite subject, and yet she made it fun. Her grades improved, and she and Karen became great friends! One of the things that I liked about Karen was that she set boundaries with my daughter and maintained them. my daughter knew that work came first and then playtime. In regards to play, Karen has the wonderful capacity to engage children in play and at the same time teach them skills along the way. On a personal level, there is no one I trust more with my daughter than Karen! Over the past six years, she has not only tutored her, but she has cared for her on many occasions. When my daughter is with Karen, I know she is in excellent hands! There are not many people that I allow my daughter to drive in a car with, but Karen is definitely one of them. The safety of the children she is caring for is the most important thing to her. On occasions, I have had to leave my daughter with Karen for the entire day, and I have the peace of mind that my daughter is well taken care of and most important, happy and loved! There is nothing more upsetting for a parent than not being able to get to your child fast enough when they are ill. On numerous occasions Karen picked up my daughter at school when she was sick, went to the pharmacy to get medication and took care of her until I could get home. When I travel on business trips, Karen takes care of my daughter and I know that my daughter could not be in better hands. After six years, I have to say that Karen is a very special part of our family. My daughter is now 12 and Karen is her friend as well as tutor. Any family that is lucky enough to have Karen as part of their child's life will not be disappointed! They too will realize what a treasure she is! She is a wonderful find through Queens Nanny Agencies."
