About Karen
Experience: 10 yrs
I love kids. Ever since I was 8 years old and my little brother was born, I have loved being around kids. I have a lot of experience with long-term child care gigs, substitute teaching and 1:1 aide work with special needs kids. I am experienced with everything, from infants to young teens. I would love the opportunity to get to know and enjoy your children. I am a compassionate and kind person. I love exploring with kids, reading, doing creative projects, laughing, and simply observing and responding to life, together. Currently, I am a yoga teacher. I have a BA in English, and also graduated with honors from a 2-year Photography school.

Karen took care of my son for a couple of years when he was 1-3 years old. She was fantastic with him. He adored her. She is kind, loving, and respectful. He always loved spending time with her. They did art, played outside, made music, and all the great things that kids need to do. Karen is a fantastic person and I recommend her highly as a caregiver.
