About Karen

Experience: 10 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

Hi, I am a Mom of three adult children, married for 31 years. I have 10 years of nanny experience. I am very active & love to be outdoors. I used to work at Coventry Elementary School for 9 years. I was a playground Supervisor for 220 kids and I worked in the school office as an Administrative Assistant. I also helped out in the nurses office when our nurse went to lunch daily seeing ill children. I would provide a fun, safe environment where we would do crafts, read, play games and limit tv time. I have been told that kids bring out the best in me. I would like to think that I can bring out the best in your kids too. I was a Salvation Army Sunbeam leader for a five years. Sunbeams are a Christian character building program for girls 6 thru 12 years old. I am reliable and fun and would love to meet you and your children.
