Hi my name is Karen Collins, I recently graduated from Elmhurst university with an English Degree with special interest in writing and education. I have been babysitting for over seven years. I have cared for children ranging from the ages newborn to 13 years of age, and have watched up to 3 children at a time. I really enjoy arts and crafts , being outdoors, and reading. I've always been around all types of pets and am very comfortable with them. I myself am married, have a small dog, and enjoy being outdoors.
