About Karen

Experience: 5 yrs

I'd describe my personality as optimistic, fun-loving & energetic I like working with kids because they keep me young since my four children are grown & I have no grandchildren yet. I'm looking for a job that is flexible, allows me to spend time with children & helps me to earn some money to supplement our income. I started working with kids when I was a teenager which led me to get a degree in elementary education which led me to have 4 children of my own which I stayed home to raise. In my spare time, I like to read, cook, exercise, sew, spend time with my grown children & my high school sweetheart husband of 30 years. One thing you should know about me is I love children, especially babies & I love any breed of dog. I love helping children enjoy the world outside of technology. My skills include patience beyond understanding, bringing educational skills into every activity & being punctual & reliable.
