When I first met Karen, I was very impressed with her qualifications, preparation, letters of recommendation, and the fact that she got down on the floor straight away to interact with my baby. In between talking to me and answering my questions, she sang to the baby and played games with her. By the time she left, Marceline was sitting in her lap and giving her kisses.
When Karen came the next time to babysit, I felt quite confident and comfortable leaving my baby with her, and this was the first time I had left my daughter with anyone other than family! Right around nap time, I logged into the camera app in my daughter’s room to see if she was already asleep. The timing worked out so I just happened to catch Karen tucking my baby in. She was so kind and gentle and sweet that tears welled up in my eyes right there in the middle of the restaurant. I feel very lucky to have witnessed such a tender moment.
Right after our first visit, quarantine went into effect, so I haven’t seen Karen for a few months now. She has messaged a few times over the weeks to check in and see how we are doing. I look forward to when my husband and I can go out again so we can leave our sweet girl in the fun, caring, capable hands of Karen. - Tara A
