Hi, I’m Karen! I graduated from Manchester Community College in 2023 with an Associate’s Degree in Early Childhood Education. During my studies, I had the opportunity to student-teach in a preschool classroom, and I also worked as a teacher’s assistant at a multicultural academy preschool. I’m CPR certified, have reliable transportation, and I absolutely love animals—so pets are never a problem! I’ve babysat for many wonderful families over the years and can provide great references upon request. I also live with my sister and have gained hands-on experience helping care for my niece and nephew from the newborn stage through toddlerhood. Some of the things I’ve done as a caregiver include: Diaper changes, bottle preparation (formula and breast milk) Preparing nutritious meals and snacks Assisting with potty training Providing regular updates to parents throughout the day Leading fun, sensory, and developmentally appropriate activities I’m passionate about creating a safe, loving, Read more and engaging environment for children to learn and grow. I also run a small photography business on the side, focusing on family portraits, weddings, and special events! I’d love the chance to meet you and your family! Feel free to reach out with any questions.
