Hello! I am a certified Child Development Teacher who has lived and worked in Redondo Beach for over 12 years! My passion is teaching kindergartners and preschool age kiddos to support their learning in the classroom. I'm able to simply babysit or can also teach handwriting, number sense, reading, sight words, fun crafts etc.. for parents who choose to not enroll their little ones in a formal preschool setting. I have a decent amount of experience with special needs and that can be personally discussed. I am CPR certified, I also took a 6 hour training for a school district health clerk (school nurse) substituting position. I was a trained massage therapist specializing in the use of aromatherapy for health benefits. I am mother to an 18 year old daughter who has just started college. I have organized her room so as to allow for a play room in the Read more event that parents would like a night away and would want a sleep over at Miss Karen's house for their child! So there are many options to assist you with your child care. I also accept drop off for a minimum of 2 hours at my house for when Mom or Dad just need a break to go to Yoga, shop etc..
