Karen finds being a Nanny in Ravenna, WA to be a very rewarding experience!

“I am a very reliable, loyal, responsible, loving and trustworthy person. My special attributes are: I love children and enjoy working with them as they build developmental skills. I am very respectful towards others, well-spoken and have great communication skills. 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 children bring me joy and I take pride in caring for them. I have been serving in some form of childcare for over 13 years and can honestly say I adore what I do! My goal as a nanny is to be a responsible caregiver to the children who are in trusted into my care and comforting the parents in knowing that their little ones are in capable hands when they can’t be there. I am willing to do housekeeping that includes; light cleaning, children and adult laundry, some cooking and running errors. If I had to describe myself in five adjectives I would say that I am capable, diligent, efficient, energetic and kind-hearted. Activities that I would like to incorporate in the daily plan for the family I care for would include play dates, arts and craft, museum tours, painting, science experiments, games and puzzles, and indoor and outdoor activities. If asked to describe the perfect family seeking a Nanny in Ravenna WA like me I would hope they would be easy going, professional, generous, honest and kind.”

“Ms. Karen moved in with our family at a time when I was juggling an extremely demanding career, with no local support system. I met Karen through a local placement agency and knew she was right for our family after the very first time I met her. She has an incredibly warm, gentle, calm and gracious spirit. Family is important to her and she exudes the spirit of a true "nurturer", as only a mother could. Ms. Karen gave me the freedom to focus on my work, knowing that my children were safe, cared for and loved under her watchful eye and in her loving arms. My children grew to trust and love her in a very short period of time. As a relatively new mother, Karen would sometimes gently offer me advice on how to bond, care for, and reconnect with my children after days of being away in the office. She understood my responsibilities to my family and was home to make sure they had what they needed when I could not be there. My home was always neat, my children were clean, my husband/children were fed, laundry was done, beds were made, bottles were cleaned and orderly, drawers were neatly organized, and my children were gently put to sleep nearly every night I came home from work. I did not have to worry. I never had to check up on Ms. Karen (as we called her). She was responsible, honest and trustworthy. Ms. Karen also kept her personal space neat, clean, orderly and inconspicuous. Karen always looked lovely and took care of herself and she was very respectful of our time and space when my husband and I were with our children. That was important to me as well. Ms. Karen would be a great addition to nearly any family looking for a Nanny in Ravenna WA. She treated my children like her own.”

“Karen was an invaluable asset to our family and I would highly recommend her to any family seeking a Nanny in Ravenna WA. She took excellent care of my daughter from infancy through the toddler years. Knowing that my daughter was in such nurturing, capable hands gave me great peace of mind every day when I went off to work. I was always impressed by Karen's ability to remain calm and unflappable in any situation, whether soothing a crying baby or handling a toddler's temper tantrum. She was especially helpful when our daughter was briefly hospitalized at just six months old. Karen came to the hospital, helping to comfort and feed her and later provided reassurance and helpful advice as she recovered at home. As a further testament to her caring demeanor, I would frequently hear from parents and other caregivers how wonderful Karen was with our daughter when they ran into them at the park, the gymnasium or music class.”

“Our family was very blessed to have Karen as a nanny. Karen cared for our infant son. We highly recommend her for any future position as a Nanny in Ravenna WA. Karen is a gentle, calm and nurturing person. She has an easy-going personality and strives to do her best. She handles stress well and is dependable. She is truly passionate about working with children. Her smile and laugh are infectious and brought a positive and warm energy to our house. In addition to caring for our son, we also have a child from a previous marriage who spends the summer with us; who was 9-10 years old at the time. When she was here, Karen took her in with the same passion and energy that she showed with our son. She showed great care and understanding when dealing with our daughter's special needs and managed to easily juggle the needs kids of the disparate ages.”
