About Karen

Experience: 10 yrs

I have a firm belief that children are a true gift to this world! Therefore, I have always loved being around children and have a special gift in working with them. I have a very alive inner child that quickly and easily connects and bonds with children and teens of all ages. I have a very alive imagination and I love to play, craft, play sports, bike ride, sing, read books to them and to spend time in nature with them. I am a very fit and active woman who used to teach fitness classes to children and I also was a certified swim instructor, lifeguard and diving instructor. I started babysitting when I was 12 years old and have fostered many connections with children in various settings. I have taken care of children from a few weeks old to spending precious moments with teenagers. I also counseled children, teens, and families for my training for my Master's degree in Counseling. I am a very dependable and conscious being that extends much comfort, kindness, warmth and fun!

Karen M. took care of my mother-in-law. She made her feel good taking time to spend with her, talking to her and lifting her up in her 90's. Karen prepared meals, light housekeeping and was there for her, listening to her stories even though she repeated them. Karen is a sweet girl and very caring. It is hard to find a good caregiver and she definitely does her job well.
