I Ain't Afraid of No..... Diaper! .....or Toddler! .....or Teenager! Hi there! My name is Karen and I have been a professional, stay home mom with 3 grown, wonderful, successful teenagers. My eldest daughter just graduated Valedictorian. The teens are now fledgling and I have a flexible schedule to provide occasional or part-time sitting. I am trustworthy and can offer 18 years of safe, hands-on experience, maturity and knowledge to keep your child(ren) happy and entertained, when you are not available. I think I also have a good sense of humour ;) I do children and pets well! There's nothing I love more than playing board or educational games, doing puzzles, reading stories, singing songs, taking kids out for walks, going to the park, library, etc. Any kind of adventure that helps to teach and enrich a child's life. I come prepared with a child friendly goodie bag for extra Read more fun and I am 100% animal friendly. Currently, my high school daughter is teaching me simple sign language, that I can also teach your little one, if desired. I am responsible, punctual, outgoing, kind and patient. I have a clear, criminal record and would pass any background check or Live Scan, if requested. I also have my own vehicle, with a clear driving record. I am certified with The Red Cross Pediatric First Aid/CPR/AED, CDSS Child Abuse & Neglect Reporter and my immunizations are up-to-date. I also have experience working at infant and toddler daycare's. I have worked substitute positions this year and continue to provide on-call help. I live in Valley Village and service the San Fernando Valley, CA area, east of the 405 to Glendale including Sylmar. Thank you. Who Ya Gonna Call?!! Karen @ (818) 579-3081
