My name is Karen Zaucha and my husband and I recently relocated from Chicago to Phoenix. I have excellent credentials and references which include 24 years of owning and operating a private preschool/kindergarten called Long Grove Country School. I am a certified elementary teacher for grades K-8. For the last three years I have been a teacher caregiver for two different families in Illinois. After being in the classroom and directing a school for many years, I found that working with a few children as opposed to an entire classroom is a refreshing change. I've enjoyed teaching one on one and seeing the progress and development of each child I've cared for. I am creative, fun, extremely reliable and flexible, honest, hardworking, loyal and passionate about keeping children safe, challenged and happy. I raised two children and have 16 nieces and nephews. If I sound like a good fit for Read more your family, please contact me and I will send you my résumé and references/recommendations. Thank you.
