About Karis

Experience: 10 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

I have 10 years of experience working with children, most of which has been with ages 0-3. I have worked both as an in-home nanny and with a non-profit where I helped care for medically-fragile infants. My style of nannying is affectionate, nature-based, and flexible. I believe that the most vital things to a child's development are a close bond with his/her caregivers and with the outdoor world around them. Each child I care for is unique and I strive to learn their personality, cues, and preferences. I am CPR/First-Aid/BBP certified, and have completed coursework in early childhood development as part of my BA in Psychology. In addition to my experience and training, I am hardworking and reliable. I am glad to assist with chores and/or errands as needed. I am dedicated to providing the highest quality of care for your little one(s), and would love to start a conversation with you if you think I would be a good fit for your family.

When you must leave your Children in the care of someone else the most important thing in my opinion is that they feel loved and cared for while Mom is away. Karis did this and so much more for my daughter! She cared for my now 9.5 month daughter starting at 4 months old. Karis is kind, gentle, thoughtful and patient. Each interaction with my daughter was one of caring, while she taught, played or comforted. My daughter was a terrible napper which only got worse with sleep regressions but Karis dealt with every change with ease. Karis played in ways that helped with learning and developmental milestones. She sent me videos and pictures throughout the day to help me feel connected and updated me just enough so I knew all was well at home. She became part of our family and we trust her completely with our child. On top of being a wonderful caregiver she did small tasks around the house without being asked. Karis was flexible and willing to change her schedule when needed with no fuss. She was such a gift to our family! She helped me as a new Mom return to enjoying work as I no longer had to worry all day about my daughter. I cannot say enough about how great Karis is and how highly I recommend her!
