High-energy caregiver offering a "lifestyle upgrade" for busy families. Former homeschool mom of four and founder of a K-12 educational enrichment co-op with three decades of real-life experience caring for children. I Offer: Creative Enrichment: From crafting to cooking and everything in between... your kids will not be bored. Curiosity -led, fun activities trump lengthy screen time any day! Household Harmony: Need the pantry organized? Dinner prepped? Party invites sent? Consider it handled. Grandma Knows: I "read the room" and pivot as needed when someone gets sick or a thunderstorm ruins plans. Sometimes a quiet afternoon reading or baking cookies will save the day. Reliability: Safe transport in my BMW X3. Also available for overnights up to week-long travel stints. I aim to be the calm anchor for your family, balancing structure and enriching play with grandmotherly care and wisdom. Please NOTE: seeking summer-only position due to a commitment out of state Sept-Nov.
Karen has been a fantastic caregiver for our two daughters. We feel confident that they are safe, happy and well cared for in her hands. Finding someone so trustworthy, kind and dependable has truly been one of the greatest blessings for our family. She is an absolute gem and we are incredibly grateful.
