Karen is an experienced professional from our Sammamish, Seattle Nanny Agency!

“I am an outgoing person! I have a journalism background and have published an online children’s newspaper and have taught them creative writing. I worked with children of all ages. I’ve spoken at schools and created poetry sessions with children. If I was asked to describe in one sentence the reason I have chosen to be with a Sammamish, Seattle Nanny Agency it would have to be because I think I am very good at teaching children writing skills, boosting their self-esteem and instilling good values. I also have knowledge of many things going on in a child’s world in culture and entertainment because of my newspaper. I have been serving in some form of childcare for over 14 years and can honestly say I love what I do! I feel the children are full of hope and possibilities and are curious about the world around them and eager to learn many new things. Children need encouragement to be the best they can be and realize we are all unique individuals. My goal as a nanny is to encourage positive growth in kids and promote positive self-esteem and a love of learning, but also knowing discipline and respect are important when concerning adults. I am willing to do housekeeping that includes; light sweeping or dusting. If I had to describe myself in five adjectives I would say that I am creative, interested in other people, a talented writer, proud to have taught children writing skills and proud to have helped them with self-esteem through my newspaper. Activities that I would like to incorporate in the daily plan for the family I care for would include; each child would read a children’s book, if interested, every day and discuss it with myself and others in the family and a fun, creative or educational activity tailored to each child. If asked to describe the perfect family seeking a nanny like me I would hope they would be educated, treat their children with respect and good care, instill the love of books and learning in their children and tolerant of their mistakes and their individual learning process.”

“My daughter and I have had the pleasure of the services of Karen who was a nanny for our family. We met Karen through a Sammamish, Seattle Nanny Agency. Karen is a professional who was always on time and paid attention to all the details that make a nanny responsible and caring concerning my daughter. Karen engaged my daughter in her passion for education and learning and gave her self-confidence to try her best and work toward positive goals. Karen got to know her unique and creative personality and encouraged her to study and do well in school, but also pursue her creative endeavors. Karen sets down rules and regulations but in a caring and inoffensive manner that benefits all members of the family. I am a widower so having a role model such as her was of great benefit to my daughter.”

“Karen is a very diligent and conscientious woman who works very well with children and young adults. When my daughter was a young teen, Karen watched her at my home for about a year in which they engaged in educational activities and she watched her with her friends and they all interacted in a group. Karen will always show up on time, use correct discipline, but never be too harsh or damage communication with young people. She is pleasant and friendly and makes children feel comfortable. She was great helping my daughter with homework and special school projects. I would recommend her to your Sammamish, Seattle Nanny Agency for any job supervising or being a nanny for children of all ages and teens.”

“Karen served as a nanny for my niece every weekend when she came to visit at my home. My niece’s mother had some health concerns at the time. Karen was kind and helpful and treated my niece with such understanding concerning her mother's illness. She took her to cultural events and museums and helped her with her homework, especially writing assignments. My niece really looked at her as an aunt type figure and they still communicate even though my sister is now able to take care of her full time. I would recommend Karen for any nanny job available through your Sammamish, Seattle Nanny Agency. She has worked with children for years through her newspaper and has taught children creative writing classes. She was always on time, polite and was able to handle my niece very well who was going through a difficult time. My niece's friends also thought the world of her.”

“I have known Karen for over seven years. She is a frequent visitor at my home and is friends with my son and his wife. Before her mother was admitted to rehab at a nursing home, and Karen brought her mother over to visit with me many times. Karen's mother and I are both elderly. Karen shows love and concern for her mother from preparing healthy snacks, carefully assisting her in her walking, making sure she has enough water to drink and is comfortable. She drives her mother to cultural events and helps her with her shopping and obtaining needed prescriptions. She engages her in fun and interesting conversations from current news stories to community events. I would say Karen is a caring and loving daughter and a responsible and competent person who would do a very good job with your Sammamish, Seattle Nanny Agency at supervising, educating and caring for children.”

“I have known Karen for five years. I have seen her assist others at a local food bank and the concern she has shown for others in need from donating clothes to helping distribute food. I have seen her work with children as a tutor and writing instructor and the concern and time and she takes with teaching and enjoying the creative abilities of children of all ages. She is a dedicated professional who goes the extra mile to help families, children, and parents with her once a week radio show covering topics of interest to children and families. Karen is also a friend who would help another friend in need. I have seen how she treats her elderly mother with such delicate care and concern to make sure she is safe and well cared for in a nursing home. She highly values education and graduated from University with a communications degree. Karen has encouraged the educational and artistic abilities off many children and teenagers. She has written recommendation letters for many hoping to get into quality schools and universities. Karen loves to learn and has an innate curiosity about the world around her and knows how to instill that in others. She will be a valuable asset to any Sammamish, Seattle Nanny Agency.”
