I am a 53 year-old mother of 2 children ages 20 and 22. I took care of my nieces and nephews when I was younger. I have been working in the public school as an aide helping special education students for twelve years. I have been caring for children for more than 30 years. I have also taught religion to public school students at the local church for the past nine years. I was also a girl scout leader... the last two and a half years I have been caring for 2 year old boy and a 5 month old girl. I hope to hear from you.

Karen really came through for me in an emergency situation. I got called into work, last minute. My regular sitter bailed. Karen came to the rescue. I will definitely use Karen again. Professional, kind, caring and honest!

I have had Karen babysit on several occasions. Karen is reliable and punctual. All three of my kids love her. I have a three, five and seven year old. My youngest son is still shy in preschool even though the teachers are very nice. He sits beside Karen and chats to her and is beaming when she is here. If the kids are not in bed already they complain when Karen has to leave, I am very comfortable leaving my children with Karen. I only wish I could have her over more often. Highly recommend her as a babysitter.
