ABOUT US

Necessary Nannies is a Treasure Valley family-owned business founded by Karla and Verlyn Brower. They have been Meridian residents for twelve years and have been married for twenty-seven years. As the parents of two young adults and one teenager, they understand first-hand the joys and challenges of parenthood and can sincerely identify with the needs of active, caring families in our community. In March of 2008, they celebrated the arrival of their first grandchild, a beautiful little girl!

Karla directs the daily operations of Necessary Nannies. Prior to establishing Necessary Nannies, she directed a Boise-based caregiver agency where she hired, trained, placed, and supervised a staff of fifty caregivers serving the needs of senior and child clients in our community. During these years, she also directed a moving service which offered personalized relocation for individuals throughout the Treasure Valley. .

Together, Verlyn and Karla have traveled extensively to South America, Europe, and Asia. With their young family, they lived for a time in Venezuela and Albania (Eastern Europe) working with a non-profit humanitarian organization. Some of their favorite memories include traveling in a dugout canoe down a jungle river in South Venezuela, providing help to Albanian families after the debacle of communism in Eastern Europe, and teaching English in a village school near the Thai/Burmese Border.

They are members of the Meridian High School Football Boosters, and Verlyn is an
on-call part-time Meridian Firefighter. They are also active members of the Boise Vineyard where they have served on a team devoted to strengthening marriages in our community.
