About Karen

Experience: 15 yrs

I've been in the childcare industry for 13 years, and I've always had a passion for helping children grow and learn. I have some college education, and I've completed early child development coursework, as well as First Aid and CPR training. I also hold a Child Development Associate credential. I'm patient, calm, creative, and friendly, and I'm always looking for new and exciting ways to engage children and help them learn. I believe that every child deserves the opportunity to reach their full potential, and I'm committed to providing a safe and nurturing environment where they can do just that. I'm comfortable caring for children of all ages, and I'm happy to help with carpooling and light housekeeping. I follow the parents' lead when it comes to household rules and communicating about their child's day. I love playing outdoor sports and physical games with children, as well as board games and puzzles. I also enjoy playing educational games that promote learning.

We had the pleasure of having Karen watch our daughter, and she was absolutely wonderful! From the moment she arrived, she was punctual, friendly, and immediately put us at ease with her warm and caring demeanor. Our daughter can be a bit fussy when it's time for date night, but Karen completely turned that around. She showed up with unicorn crayons and a coloring book—something our daughter absolutely loves, and we hadn’t mentioned it at all! Karen’s thoughtfulness and attentiveness were truly impressive. She followed all of our instructions to the letter, and our daughter had such a great time. They clearly enjoyed each other's company, and we were able to fully relax knowing she was in such good hands. We will definitely be calling Karen again next time we need a sitter. 😊
