Hello, wonderful families! My name is Karlene, and I’m a 36-year-old career nanny with 17 years of childcare experience and 11 years of housekeeping expertise. I would love the opportunity to apply for your position! Throughout my career, I’ve cared for children ranging in age from 1 month to 16 years, including preemies, twins, multiple siblings, and nanny shares. I specialize in key developmental milestones such as sleep training, baby-led weaning, and potty training. Childcare has always been my passion, and my journey began when I helped care for my nephew many years ago. Since then, my love for nurturing and supporting children has only grown stronger. In addition to childcare, I bring extensive experience in household management. I have successfully managed homes with up to three stories and over 10 rooms, ensuring everything runs smoothly with little to no supervision. My housekeeping skills include meal preparation for a variety of dietary needs, including vegetarian, kosher, and nut-free meals. I’m also happy to assist with meal prep as needed. I take pride in being active and engaging with children. I love organizing arts and crafts, helping with homework, and supporting after-school activities such as soccer, swimming, baseball, and football. I’m also skilled in handling school pick-ups and drop-offs, preparing lunches, snacks, and dinners, and ensuring children have a fun and structured day. In my spare time, I enjoy cooking, baking, hiking, swimming, camping, and staying active with sports. I am CPR/AED certified, giving families peace of mind when it comes to safety. I’m currently seeking a full-time or part-time, long-term position with the right family. If you think we’d be a good match or have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I look forward to the opportunity to connect with you and your family! Thank you so much for your time and consideration. Warm regards, Karlene

"When we hired Amani, we felt like we hit the jackpot. We were very lucky to find her on UrbanSitter at the beginning of school year. She was picking up kids from school, taking them to afternoon activities, helping them with assignments. She prepped food for them, helped organize their closets and keep their spaces neat and orderly. We would hire her again in a heartbeat."
