My name is Karen Denise F. (I go by Denise) and I am a retired teacher with over 30 years experience in elementary and middle school special education in Wake County Public Schools. My teaching career centered around children with significant cognitive/language delays and/or physical disabilities and autism. I am currently interested in providing care assistance at home and/or in the community. I can provide you with a background check, driving record from DMV, and work/personal references upon request. I have been fully vaccinated against COVID, including the booster. I am a non-smoker, I am comfortable with pets and I am willing to do light housekeeping and simple food preparation. I live in Clayton so I prefer to stay in the Clayton, Garner, Knightdale, Willow Springs, Smithfield area.
