Meet Karen

I have over 30 years experience in early childhood education. For over 20 years , I owned, directed and taught at my own childcare center licensed for 32 children ages 6 wks to 5 years. In 2009, I closed my center and in 2010 I accepted a Head Toddler Teacher Position for a licensed child care facility in Woodbridge. . In addition to teaching I was also employed as an after school nanny for a family in Woodbridge with two adorable little girls ages 4 and 6. Unfortunately the enrollment at the center was low for the 2014/2015 school year , so they opted to cut the program. Since May 2015, I have been employed by a wonderful family in New Haven with twin infant girls. I love my job, and am sad to say , their father recently accepted a new job in Colorado, and they will be moving Read more the beginning of June . Wanting nothing more than to continue working with young children, I am currently looking for another nanny position. I am very reliable, flexible, and have several references. I enjoy planning fun, creative , age appropriate indoor and outdoor activities.
