Hello! My name is Karen and I have been working with children in many capacities since 1999. I love to create a nurturing imaginative environment where they can play, learn, create and grow. I have been an Art Teacher and Teaching Artist at different schools in the city and suburbs and have a plethora of experience working with all ages and kinds of children! I currently watch two children during different parts of the week and I love taking care of them. I have also worked as a full-time nanny for triplets and a part-time nanny in the past. I am a very upbeat, energetic and creative person who can also set boundaries and teach lessons. No doubt your child(ren) will hear stories, make art projects and play outside when I am with them! I would love to get to know you and your child(ren) better and I hope to Read more hear from you soon!
