About Karen
Experience: 6 yrs
Hi! I'm a caring, dependable childcare professional with over 6 years of experience working with children ages 2-12. My background includes preschool teaching, tutoring, and behavior therapy. I currently work as an ABA therapist supporting children with autism and previously worked as a preschool teacher, where I created engaging learning activities, managed classrooms, and fostered a safe, nurturing environment for children to grow and succeed. I'm CPR and First Aid certified, patient, organized, and passionate about helping children learn through play, creativity, and positive reinforcement. Families appreciate my calm demeanor, reliability, and ability to build strong relationships with children of all abilities. Whether you're looking for occasional babysitting, part-time care, or educational support, I'd love the opportunity to help your child thrive while providing you with peace of mind. Feel free to reach out-I look forward to connecting with your family!

Love Karen!!! In addition to being our occasional sitter, she is also my 3 year old son's preschool teacher and is simply the best! I can't say enough about the structure and warmth she brings to the class room and play time! Karen truly goes above and beyond to create a nurturing and educational environment. My son is learning to be independent, well mannered, thoughtful with his behavior and aware of his emotions, through her care. She has experience across a range of ages. As a sitter, she is flexible, creates a plan for the day, and makes sure my son is having fun, but also reading and eating on his own! I highly highly recommend her services and happy to be a contact if anyone has more specific questions :)
