About Kari

Experience: 3 yrs

I'd describe myself as extroverted, detail-oriented, and creative. I like working with kids because I am a high energy person that loves providing creative and engaging experiences for people of all ages. I enjoy teaching swim lessons in my free time. I think it is important to speak and treat all living beings with respect and kindness. I'm looking for a job that provides consistency, work-life balance, and one that will allow me to harness my strengths. I started working with kids by nannying for families in high school, special Olympics as a swim coach, and now I'm looking for a more consistent position with a family to work with. In my spare time, I like to spend time with my dog, enjoy the lakefront, try new restaurants, and explore the city's museums. One thing you should know about me is I'm a rule-follower and I'm extremely trustworthy in all aspects of my life. People can count on me to always do the right thing. I'm creative, communicative, and patient.

I cannot recommend Kari highly enough for her exceptional swim lessons for children! Over the past year, she has been a fantastic teacher for my three-year-old daughter, providing engaging, energetic, and effective instruction tailored specifically for a young learner. From day one, Kari created a fun and supportive environment that made my daughter feel comfortable in the water. Her enthusiasm and encouragement were instrumental in helping my daughter learn essential swim skills such as floating, blowing bubbles, holding onto the edge of the pool, and jumping into the water. These skills have been invaluable in fostering my daughter's water confidence and overall comfort in the pool. What impressed me the most was Kari's ability to break down complex concepts into simple, easy-to-understand steps that my daughter could follow. Her patience and understanding of the needs of young children made each lesson an enjoyable and rewarding experience. My daughter eagerly looked forward to her time with Kari and has made remarkable progress under her guidance.
