I begin every day knowing I can make a difference in a child's life - and end every day knowing that I tried my very best. Even if it meant all that child needed today was extra encouragement and hugs. I have been caring for children for many years. You can see in my profile photos a picture of me in a handmade "hat" and "necklace." An adorable 5-year-old girl in my care made them for me and I wore them all day long as we made our way through town running errands! She was so pleased that I kept it on all day. I have several glowing letters of recommendation from previous employers that I would love to share. In those letters these words are all often repeated: trustworthy; energetic; organized; cook; loving; dependable; creative; professional. Of course, my love of children is my biggest qualifier! If interested, I will be happy to share the letters of recommendation and telephone numbers of my previous employers.

Karen is absolutely amazing. We hired her to care for our 6 year old daughter and 3 year old son over the summer. She has given them a summer to remember! She is constantly engaging them in educational and fun activities and has made strides in working on their picky eating. She welcomes feedback and is willing to help in any way asked of her. We had a newborn and she was respectful and masked the entire time she was with us. We asked her to help the kids write and perform a play and they made props, wrote a script, and even made costumes resulting in one of the most precious videos we have of them. She's constantly sending beautiful pictures of them throughout the day to keep us updated. Perhaps her best quality is the patience and compassion with how she treats our children. Even on their bad days she gives them grace and love. She is always on time and very reliable. I could not recommend her more!
