About Karen
Experience: 6 yrs
Hi! I'm a dedicated and nurturing child care provider with a strong background in early childhood education and over 6 years of experience working with children ages 2 to 12. As a preschool teacher, I've created engaging lesson plans, managed classrooms, and supported children's emotional and developmental growth in a safe and structured environment. Before teaching, I worked in retail management, where I developed excellent communication, multitasking, and leadership skills - all of which help me stay calm, organized, and attentive in child care settings. I'm CPR and First Aid certified, dependable, and passionate about helping children learn and thrive through creative play, positive reinforcement, and patience. Whether you're looking for full-time help, part-time care, or occasional babysitting, l'd love to be a part of your child's daily routine. Let's connect - I'd be happy to answer any questions and learn more about what you're looking for in a caregiver!

Love Karen!!! In addition to being our occasional sitter, she is also my 3 year old son's preschool teacher and is simply the best! I can't say enough about the structure and warmth she brings to the class room and play time! Karen truly goes above and beyond to create a nurturing and educational environment. My son is learning to be independent, well mannered, thoughtful with his behavior and aware of his emotions, through her care. She has experience across a range of ages. As a sitter, she is flexible, creates a plan for the day, and makes sure my son is having fun, but also reading and eating on his own! I highly highly recommend her services and happy to be a contact if anyone has more specific questions :)
