About Karalyn

Experience: 3 yrs

I have just moved here to start Occupational Therapy school this June. Before I moved I worked as a Gymnastics Coach, Camp Counselor, and Para- Professional. I have experience in preparing food and feeding children, changing diapers and dressing, and assisting and monitoring activities. I'd describe my personality as patient, hardworking, and fun. I like working with kids because they are so willing to learn. I enjoy doing activities as you have real conversations with kids during these activities. I'm looking for a job that is flexible. I have school 4 days a week. I started working with kids when I was 15 years old. In my spare time, I like to go for walks, work out, hang out with friends, and cuddle with my cat. I also really enjoy going to the lake when I can to paddle board. One thing you should know about me is that I am shy at first, but once I am comfortable I am very talkative and goofy. Most of the time kids bring this out of me.

Karalyn was so sweet and truly one of the best sitters that we have ever had! Our kids have already asked repeatedly for when our next date night is so that I can call Karalyn to come back to watch them. She helped prep dinner for the kids' and made sure they had a balanced meal! Karalyn also made sure that the kids enjoyed their evening with her playing board games and Legos while making sure they followed the rules and expectations. We came home to the kids ready for bed and a clean house so we didn't have to worry about anything when we got back.
