About Karen

Experience: 10 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

NEW to Care. com, but I do have over a decade of experience caring for children of all ages! I am a reliable, responsible, respectful and trust-worthy caregiver. I am a nurturing, positive person with a calm disposition. I am an active & engaged caregiver who loves constructive activities, projects/ craft and outdoor play. Professionally, I have worked as a Child Welfare Specialist for Catholic Charities & I have earned Bachelor's Degree in Psychology from Purdue University with specialties in Child Development & Language Acquisition. Although, I am searching for a regular, reoccurring care position, I am also open to one-time babysitting opportunities in my area. I am an animal lover willing to work in homes with cats and/or dogs. And, I am willing to perform light housekeeping tasks and meal preparation.

Karen has been a lifesaver for our family. For the past two years, she's provided afternoon and evening care for our son and daughter (now ages 6 and 4). Karen has always been punctual and reliable, and her patience and empathy with our kids is amazing.
