Hello, my name is Karen. I'm an experienced childcare provider and mother of twins. I have also worked as a registered nurse, an outdoor education instructor, and a kindergarten teacher, with a bachelor's degree in Elementary Education. I strongly believe that children thrive when given opportunities to explore nature, engage with their environment, and learn through hands-on experiences. The outdoors offers endless opportunities to build physical and cognitive skills, but it also fosters joy, creativity, resilience, empathy, and confidence. My philosophy is rooted in nature, and the care I provide will be designed to help your child not only cope with the world, but embrace it. If you are a parent of an infant or toddler who believes, as I do, that optimal growth and development occurs when children are supported in a safe, rich natural environment, then I would love the opportunity to help!
Karen is so present and attentive to my almost one year old daughter. My daughter loves spending time with her and has felt comfortable around her from the start. Karen is very communicative and has tons of experience!
