About Karen

Experience: 10 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

I have years of experience with educational games, arts and crafts, music, and reading stories. I personally prefer to limit tablet time and have direct interaction with children. I enjoy taking children to the park, pool, library, bowling, movies, and to get ice cream. I also have one year experience with toddlers, including a set of twin girls. I have been with one family with an 8-year-old boy with special needs and his 10-year-old sister for 2 1/2 years and their parents would be happy to speak with you to give a reference. I can provide you with a current background and motor vehicle check.
