About Karen

Experience: 10 yrs

Hi there! I'm a Transitional Kindergarten teacher with over 16 years of experience in education. I've dedicated my life to nurturing, teaching, and guiding young children helping them grow not just academically, but emotionally and socially, too. I believe in play-based, hands-on learning, and I always prioritize a safe, engaging, and supportive environment. Whether it's helping with early literacy, planning fun art activities, or encouraging positive behavior, I bring both professional experience and genuine care to every child I work with. I'm CPR certified, bilingual (English/Spanish), and passionate about building strong connections with both kids and their families. I'd love the opportunity to support your family.

I hired Karen as backup care. I posted the job the night before I needed someone and she was one of the first to respond. Her response was personalized as opposed to a standard cut and paste job posting response, so I felt like she took the time to understand my needs and respond to them. She confirmed with me right away via text and was on time the next morning. My 2 year old loved playing with Karen and cried when she left. She was attentive to both of my girls and was responsive and receptive to any direction I gave her. Very positive experience and will definitely hire her again.
