Hello! My name is Karen and I am 35 years old from Illinois born and raised. I currently live in Morton Grove, IL. I hold a business administration degree from DePaul University. I have been working with children since I was a teenager. Throughout my working years in multiple administrative positions, I have always loved to babysit and care for all children on my free time and weekends. ****At the moment I am only available M-F 8am-2pm.**** I am currently working with a family in Deerfield M-F 215pm-8pm. Some recent families I have cared for with the current being: 2 boys in Deerfield ages 9 & 11 and from Jan-May I also babysat a 3 yr old mornings before the family in Deerfield. I was a full time nanny in 2018 for many years for two fun adorable boys. In 2019, I went to Philadelphia for a few months to Read more live-in and care for a newborn baby boy for first time parents. In 2022, I was in Naples, FL in a live-in position caring for 2 toddlers. -I drive a 2017 Toyota Rav4 vehicle. I have a clean driving record and no criminal history. -Being outdoors and keeping active is a high priority to me, especially in the summer. I enjoy activities such as gardening, art, visiting theaters and musicals. In the winter I workout at the gym and play indoor sports. On my spare time I love to read, take walks, spend time with my mom, 2 nephews and friends. I love to cook, do yoga/Pilates/workout classes. I grew up with dogs the majority of my life. My last dog died when he was 16 years old. I am comfortable caring for any pets if needed. Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing from you! I can be reached through my cell phone at 847-371-1799 with any additional questions. Have a great day! Karen
