Meet Karen

Hello! My name is Karen and I have lots of experience working with children in all kinds of settings, from nannying to child development research to supporting newborn, infant, and toddler development in Early Intervention, to working with school-age kids struggling with mental health concerns. I love spending time with kids of all ages, and particularly enjoy working with kids with disabilities or other differences. Whatever work I'm doing with kids, I always aim to have as much fun as possible and to set them up for as much success as possible. A few things I've helped with: -Getting newborns and infants on a sleep schedule that works for everyone. -Supporting newborn, infant, and toddler, and preschool development through play. -Finding tools and routines to help children of all ages feel more in control and capable. -Tutoring and teaching content in a way kids can understand. -Providing fun, safe, and Read more developmentally appropriate care for kids 0-12
