About Karen

Experience: 8 yrs

Hi! My name is Karen, and I'm a caring, reliable, and experienced childcare provider-and a mom, so I truly understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your child. I previously worked as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT), where I provided 1:1 ABA therapy to children with autism and building skills in behavior management, communication, and structured routines. In addition to my clinical background, I have babysitting experience with school-aged children, helping with homework, planning fun activities, and encouraging outdoor play. I'm nurturing, attentive, and focused on creating a safe, engaging environment where children can grow, learn, and feel supported.

She is a great and wonderful caregiver! She has worked with my autistic son for years now and he has grown by leaps and bounds. She approaches each situation with compassion and care, and we appreciate her deep knowledge of early childhood education and neurodivergent strategies. We hope to work with her again in the very near future!
