Hi, my name is Karen Wood. I have been in childcare for many years, staying with the families long term. I also do housework, laundry and run errands. I have driven children to appointments, activities, play dates and whatever is needed. I am CPR/First Aid Certified. I utilize strong and safe Covid precautions. I prepare healthy food and snacks and cook for them. I also helped raise my sisters oldest two children in my teen years. I am now 35 years old. I have watched infants to pre-teens. I have watched up to three children at a time. I have 14 years plus experience. I have worked for 4 families. I have a perfect driving record and background check. I am very caring, compassionate, fun loving and responsible. I use creative, interactive and engaging teaching methods to encourage developmental learning skills. I also like to take the kids outdoors and Read more do fun learning-based activities. For example, I take the kids to the park, read to them or with them, play fun and educational games and workbooks and arts and crafts.I love children and genuinely enjoy spending time with children of all ages. Children should be loved, nurtured and well taken care of. I work as a team to create easy transitions between activities and parent-child exchanges.
