Hi! I am a 57 year old woman who has been a stay-at-home mom and homeschooling teacher for my three (now-grown) children. I was married for 27 years and have now been divorced for two years. I homeschooled my youngest child the longest - from pre-K through twelfth grade. She graduated from Mississippi State's Honors College with a 4.0 gpa and is now thriving in her first year in the University of Tulsa's Doctoral program. I love teaching, but have no interest in working in a classroom I much prefer the more personal teacher/student interaction that working with just a couple of children affords. For a couple of years, I did teach homeschool groups of 10-15 homeschooled high schoolers speech, debate, theatre and leadership classes, as those are not beneficial or effective classes without a group setting. I have spent the last two years since my divorce healing, rebuilding, and Read more relocating to the Memphis area to be nearer my family. I also have begun work on the completion of my college degree begun some 35 years ago. I am currently a Junior Psychology major in Regent University's online program. I have not worked as a professional nanny, but the last 34 years of my life have been spent doing that very work with my own kids. I do not want to "try it and see if I like it" - I know that I have treasured every moment and memory caring for and educating my children. Now that I am single and my nest is empty, working as a long-term nanny and being a consistent, influential, kind, and patient presence is perfect for me. Prior to having children, I worked as a Respiratory Therapy Tech in all areas from the ER to floor care to NICU and ICU/CCU. While it is not longer current, I also was a certified CPR instructor, which I would gladly renew. I have a current background check on file with my former church in MS, but will likely need to facilitate one here in TN. If you have not found your new nanny, I would welcome the opportunity to talk with you and explore the possibility of teaming together to love and nurture your children as they grow. Please let me know if the position is no longer available as I do need to continue pursuit of a family with whom I can work and contribute to consistent and happy years. Karyn Pearson (662) 312-7768
