About Karen
Experience: 10 yrs
I have 2 wonderful boys. One is out of the house in the Navy and the other is busy with high school! I have been a full time mom for over 20 years and have a lot of love to share! I started babysitting when I was 13 years old. I am CPR/AED/Choking and First Aid certified by the Red Cross for adults and pediatrics. I volunteered many years in the class room and library. I have my TEFL and taught ESL. I strongly believe in engaging (mostly through educational play/reading) children at their level to get them started as a critical thinker. My primary concern is the safety of your child! My 2nd concern is the happiness of your child. If I have time I will take care of things related to the baby, for example, prepare all food for child, clean bottles, high chairs, load dishwasher, do baby laundry. But, I do not do general household cleaning/maid service . I really LOVE infants and young children and I hope you will give me a chance to help you out.
Most recent review
Ms. Karen was a wonderful addition to our family for my baby! We had a few month gap between my leave and our preferred daycare and M. Karen was very loving and took great care of my baby. She did enriching activities and helped bridge separation anxiety. She is reliable and caring!
