About Karen

Experience: 10 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

I am an experienced childcare provider with 20 years of nurturing young children starting at the Fort Monmouth Child Development Center with the US Army. I completed coursework in early childhood development, education and psychology and hold certifications from The Center for Music and Young Children in Princeton, NJ on musical growth in children. I believe every child deserves a safe and nurturing environment to thrive. With a patient and friendly demeanor, I create a comfortable atmosphere for children. I prioritize open communication with parents, keeping them informed about their child's experiences and concerns. As a passionate creative, professional musician and music teacher, as well as a lover of nature, I naturally integrate music development, creative arts /play and outdoor adventures into my time with children. I am committed to continuous growth in my role, providing exceptional care, and support to families.

Karen took care of my 4 children when I was going through a challenging time and the peace of mind knowing my kids were being cared for for not only for basic needs but the way Karen would go up and above filled my heart . My kids would always come home telling me their adventures with Karen she taught them music and songs and instrumentals. She did story telling and costumes and just a real life Mary Poppins!
