About Karen
Experience: 10 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
I have excellent references and can be available days, evenings, and weekends. (I did light chores and started dinner for mom.) I am retired and have enjoyed taking care of children since retirement for 9 years. I've enjoyed taking the children to parks, museum, library and book store for story time, also enjoy staying home doing craft, coloring, etc. It's a wonderful way to spend time and keeps me young. I still keep in touch with past families that made me feel part of their family.

Ms. Karen has been so great and enriching for our children! We have two boys age 4 and 8, and Ms. Karen has taken care of them after school for the past 3 years. She has become part of our family and the boys absolutely love her! She is able to connect with both boys and has so much patience to listen to their daily stories, and on top of that she has encouraged them to be great conversationalists. She's also helped encourage and provide support with their homework, reading, writing, math, and even the spelling bee. She knows how to engage each of our boys' personality individually. Ms. Karen is easy to work with and easy to communicate with. Ms. Karen has also helped parallel our efforts to help the boys understand some important life skills such as responsibility, organizing, conversing respectfully, etc. It's been a blessing to have Ms. Karen be part of our lives. We definitely recommend Ms. Karen for taking great care of kids.
