Hi, My name is Karen. I'm a wife and mother of two beautiful daughters that are growing up fast and almost in their teens years! For 24 years, I was an elementary school teacher who taught 1st, 2nd and 3rd grades. While I enjoy working with all ages of children, I'm drawn to the little ones. Their laughs, smiles and curiosities bring me great joy! It's exciting to introduce new experiences to children by exploring sites and sounds through toys or nature. As a child care worker, I enjoy having a structured day that's filled with both active and quiet play. One of my favorite activities is to read to children and have them explore books! At all ages children are curious about books with colorful pictures, textures and fun stories. Lastly, I'm dedicated to finding the right family and working my very best to care for their child/children. That family can count on me to be dependable, trustworthy, and above all to nurture their child/children in a very safe and caring environment.
