Hello! My name is Karen. I am certified in CPR, First Aid training, and Mandated Reporter training. As soon as you meet me you will notice my caring and inviting, respectful personality! When it comes to children you could say I have always been a natural. I started out babysitting when I was young. It started with family members until I was 100 percent confident in my skills and branched out. I have always had a great passion for working with kids! Whether it was doing individual care, to working in licensed daycare facilities, after school programs, and more. I’ve always enjoyed working with children because it simply doesn’t feel like work to me. It’s always great quality time, and an opportunity to teach. I have a daughter of my own who is my entire life and will be turning 9 this year! I have 7+ years of experience working Read more with children, along with experience working with children with disabilities. As of now I am employed with PUSD Early Education. We are on summer break so I now have availability during Mon-Fri.
