Hello Hiring Family! My name is Karen and I have been working as a nanny for a few years now, prior to that, I was a Nurse Educator. I am looking forward to connecting with an awesome family again, as the wonderful family I had been with has moved out of state. Since working as a nanny, it has been my pleasure to help with the day to day activities of family life, and I appreciate the continuity of care so vital for day to day routines. My quick connection with children helps to form meaningful play interactions so vital for their wellbeing. Plus, I thoroughly enjoy their company! Other experiences I bring include; having homeschooled my children, tapping maple trees for syrup, working our apiary, extracting and bottling honey, making and selling beeswax candles, assisting with construction of a log house, landscaping extensive properties and tending farm animals. I Read more am passionate about caring for children of all ages, and come with CPR and First Aid certification. I hope that you will find my experience and interests intriguing enough to warrant a face-to-face meeting, as I am confident my skills would provide value to you and your family. Thank you for your consideration!
