Carleen enjoys working with our Tacoma WA Nanny Agency because she loves to teach!

"I am originally from the beautiful island of Dominica where I last worked as a High School English teacher! This was an extremely fulfilling experience, but I know that my true calling is working as a Nanny. During my years working with children, I have been blessed to work with twins, premature babies, and special needs children. I am also comfortable working with all age ranges of children from infant to school-age! Over the past few years during the summer months, I have been working for a family in the United States. Now that I have returned to the USA and the Tacoma, WA Nanny Agency permanently, I am ready to find my perfect-fit family! I would describe myself as an outgoing person. I love the outdoors: swimming, nature walks, and trips to the zoo and aquarium!  I also love the performing arts such as theatre and music. I think the arts are extremely important in the education and development of children and I like to incorporate these activities whenever I am able. Other activities I enjoy including are supervised cooking and baking, arts and crafts, and any kind of outdoor fun! I like to encourage the families with which I work to keep a daily journal of the children’s activities and also to record precious memories of their little ones. I am willing to do light housekeeping and I absolutely love to cook! I am seeking a kind, loving, and active family who wants a Nanny like me to become part of their family.
“Carleen has been my Nanny for three consecutive summers. I hired her immediately after meeting with her and being impressed by her positive and respectful attitude. Carleen has been a wonderful caregiver while maintaining a great work ethic. I found Carleen’s assistance to be invaluable. She taught my son all the basics and more from his ABC’s, numbers, daily readings, educational games, and gaining motor skills after my son had his umbilical hernia surgery when he was just a baby. I appreciated having a walking encyclopedia of knowledge I can access every day during the summer months – I always had questions for Carleen waiting upon her arrival at my home. Carleen provides unmatched care for my son and she is very punctual. She also lets me know her availability well in advance, so I can plan my work weeks. Carleen is very cooperative and does everything I ask in caring for my son. In addition to being highly reliable, Carleen displays a strong character. I truly trust her to make the best decisions for my son when I am not around. Based on her work ethic and her dependability, I would definitely recommend her from the Tacoma, WA Nanny Agency. If you have any questions for me, please do not hesitate to contact me.”

“Carleen was attached to the English Department where she taught grades seven, eight, and eleven. At the beginning, she was teamed with a teacher in order that she observed the teaching process as well as classroom management. During that period, she worked well with her team-teachers who found working with her an absolute pleasure. Carleen caught on quickly and, by the second term, was able to teach her classes on her own. As a teacher, Carleen’s work ethic was immaculate. She was honest, dependable, creative, innovative, and hard-working. She was also punctual and regular to school and to her classes. In relation to her students Carleen was seen as a maternal figure. Her students loved her, and she returned the love. This, however, did not in any way impede on her classroom management skills. Her classes were well behaved and a very productive and fruitful teacher student relationship ensued. Carleen must further be commended for always taking the initiative and working well with all levels of staff. She was involved in the life of the school and can be considered a valuable member of the institution. She performed her duties diligently and always did her best to improve the image of the school. It is also worth noting that Carleen scored outstanding on her appraisal for the two years that she was employed. Carleen was very pleasant to work with and I am confident that she will be a valuable asset to the Tacoma, WA Nanny Agency and any family unit, as she was such an asset to English Department and school, by extension. I believe that Carleen is an exemplary person with the will-power, personality, and skills necessary to succeed in any position.”

Carleen looked after my kids for five years and performed diligently throughout her tenure. I would never refer to Carleen as an employee; in the years that she worked for me, she became family. She came to work for me when my son was a few months old and stayed on to look after my other child. One of her greatest strengths is her ability to be flexible, yet maintain discipline—something which is not very easy to do. Carleen knows her work extremely well—she can devote the same amount of time to my both kids. Carleen is an extremely patient person and a very friendly individual. She has been quite a role model to my daughter and has put up with her temper tantrums during extremely difficult terrible twos! She doesn’t take days off and she is never late to work. She conducts herself professionally and has the capacity to connect with children of all ages. As a dependable and extremely professional individual, I believe she has it in her to become an asset to the Tacoma, WA Nanny Agency or individual with whom she works. Please, do not hesitate to contact me if there is any more information I can provide. Once again, I highly recommend her for any Nanny position.”

I have known Carleen for over 10 years. Carleen and I are from the same country, Dominica, and have been members of various coinciding organizations back home. She has always proven herself to be a diligent worker. Being punctual has always been one of her core traits. Carleen takes pride in everything that she does and is never afraid to face challenges. Carleen loves children and is, in general, a people person. Her bubbly personality always leaves a mark on anyone who is blessed to meet her. She will definitely be an asset to the Tacoma, WA Nanny Agency and any family.”

“I have known Carleen for over 20 years. We attended high school together where she proved to be a very motivated and determined individual. We also worked as colleagues when we were both teachers. As a teacher, Carleen took pleasure in lesson plan preparation and paying special to the needs of all her students. She was highly motivated to learn as much as she could and performed extremely well utilizing her best capabilities. In Addition, she took full responsibility for my daughter for number of years during my travels. My daughter enjoyed spending time with her and the childcare was exceptional. Carleen has a number of strengths but her main strength – according to my observation – is her talent to motivate children. She always seemed genuinely interested in children’s mental development and presented new ways of learning that captured their attention. She is very reliable, trustworthy, motivated, very punctual, and able to adapt to situations. To me, she has proven to be a great mother, teacher, childcare provider, and friend. Carleen possesses all qualities that make a nanny successful. Once again, I highly recommend her from the Tacoma, WA Nanny Agency. In case of any queries regarding her qualifications and abilities, please feel free to contact me.”

I have known Carleen for the last 25 years and in that time. I have learned that she is an invaluable member of the Tacoma, WA Nanny Agency. She constantly strives to achieve and then surpass any goals set, and works as a morale booster for the rest of the team if things aren’t going as well as planned. I have always noticed that Carleen is up for anything and never complains about the work set before her. I am proud to know Carleen and I know you will be happy with her as a valuable addition to your family. Please contact me if you would like me to answer any questions of give you more specific examples.
