About Karen

Experience: 10 yrs

I am a homeschooling mother of three grown children. I hold an Early Childhood Education degree and have worked in daycare centers and the public schools. During college, I was a nanny for twin infants. I was a teacher's aide in a junior high special education class for one year. I have been a therapeutic foster parent for eight years caring for children with autism, developmental delays, medical issues, and histories of neglect and abuse. I truly enjoy caring for children. I try to provide a rich basis for their future learning. I believe in reading aloud, active and imaginative play, early social experiences such as library story hours and playground time, sports, music and movement classes, and introducing children to a musical instrument at an early age. I will support activities which the parents feel are healthy and good for their child. I also try to help the family function smoothly by helping with chores when the child is napping and attending doctor appointments.

Karen is gentle and patient with our sometimes wild two boys. She focuses on reading, songs and playing at their level. She is engaged in their learning and needs. We have enjoyed having Karen with our family.
