My name is Karen. I have owned my own business teaching dance and fitness to children ages 2-12 for the last 15 years where I was responsible for classes of up to 15 children all on my own. Due to COVID, my business is closed. I can’t imagine not working with children, so I hope to find a family I can babysit for on a routine basis. I have two kids of my own ages 13 & 19. My 13 year old is on the spectrum so I am comfortable with taking care of children with autism. Other than my love for children, I feel I would be a great sitter since I have a very strong work ethic. I know how important it is to show up for work as I have had many teachers work for me in my business and I do not like letting a child Read more or parent down for any reason. I have lots of energy and smiles and can’t wait to start working with children again.
