About Karen

I have worked as a camp counselor and teacher at Appalachian Institute for Creative Learning as well as Akron Rotary Camp for children with special needs over the last 5 years. I continue to babysit friends' children as well as my own nieces and nephews. I have worked with children from the age of 18 months to 18 years old with all levels of abilities. I know when to have fun and let children be children but I also have a commanding presence and the creativity to keep a child's respect and attention. I appreciate the things that make each child unique and look forward to figuring out how to make each child's daily experience worth remembering.
