Meet Karena
- Comfortable with pets
My name is Karena, and I am a sophomore at Iowa State University, majoring in psychology with a Spanish minor. My three young nieces bring me endless joy, and I love caring for young children. I have been tutoring a young boy for over four years, as well as take him to his basketball games, birthday parties, and out for fun adventures in the summer. In high school, I volunteered at a church nursery where I was able to spend lots of time watching over two year olds. I also have experience working in a preschool, with three year olds, which allowed me to learn valuable care giving skills in a classroom setting. I love spending time with kids because they have a creative imagination and a certain way of looking at life that brings me joy and a sense of contentment. I come from a big family, and I Read more love being around all the energy that kids have, yet I have a calm and caring personality that fits well with energetic kids.
