About Karen

Experience: 6 yrs

Hey there, my name is Karen! I moved here from NYC. I'm a preschool teacher with 5+ years of experience working in daycare and school settings, with occasional babysitting my students on the side. I've worked with kids in many capacities and ages ranging from infancy to school-aged. I enjoy teaching children through hands-on activities by setting up the environment for them to explore and learn for themselves through play and thoughtful guidance. I like keeping kids active by engaging in arts and crafts, spending outdoor time, building blocks, playing sports/tag, and exploring the neighborhood. I am certified in CPR and First Aid and have a valid driver's license/ passport. I also obtained my Early Childhood Education Credential Level 5 through my work/field experience and college courses. With a background in early childhood education, I understand what is developmentally appropriate for children's learning and development. Will provide references upon request :)

We’ve had the pleasure of having Karen care for our baby boy for the past few weeks, and we truly couldn’t be happier. She is incredibly warm, patient, and attentive. From the moment she arrives (always punctual!), she is fully engaged and focused on our baby—never distracted by her phone, which we really appreciate. She brings her own materials for crafts and developmental activities, always finding creative ways to support both his gross and fine motor skills. Whether it’s going on outdoor walks, singing songs, or doing sensory play, she’s constantly encouraging his growth and learning. She is also very knowledgeable about infant development and it shows in the way she interacts with him. In addition to playing and teaching, she takes wonderful care of his needs—feeding, changing, and even doing his laundry and tidying up his play area. Knowing our son is in such caring and capable hands gives us so much peace of mind. We’re so grateful to have found her!
