As a mother of two grown children, I have worked 6 years serving children with special needs, ages 3-21 in school settings consisting of both special needs and mainstream classrooms. I have a paraprofessional certificate. In addition, I have taken care of over 8 people of various ages and health conditions long-term, some hospice like care, some care for those with life-threatening illnesses, and many who lived unique lives. I am studying now to be an RN. I am CPR certified. I am passionate about enhancing the lives of others, whether assisting families with members who have special needs, the elderly with unique situations, and teens/preadolescence. Simply put, I enjoy making a difference in the lives of others and helping families who need assistance to meet the needs of their loved ones. You will find me to be patient, confidential, honest, conscientious, and passionate about how I care for others. I value being entrusted with the responsibility of caring for others and find great satisfaction in enhancing and mentoring those with whom I spend time. Thank you.

    I have known Karen for 17 years as a friend. She is the most compassionate and giving individual that always thinks of other's needs before her own. She has worked as a para professional and in that role has made a difference to the students she has worked with.
