Hi there, my name is Karen Anderson. I’m a vibrant empty nester and very interested in your job posting. I’ve parented three children of my own - a set of, now adult, biological fraternal twins and I welcomed a much younger child into my family by adoption when she was six years old; she’ll be 19 in June. Years ago, I provided full time day care in my home for the children of friends, while also caring for an aging parent. I’ve also been a licensed foster parent, providing respite care for children awaiting long-term placement. I’m seeking an evening and / or weekend position; full or part time. I’m ready to begin as soon as you need me. I currently live in West Hartford. I’m English speaking. I’m in the process of updating my CPR and First Aid certifications. I’m a non-smoker with a clean driving record. I am Read more also a dog owner, so I won’t mind if you also have fur babies. I’m happy to provide references as well as meet or chat with you via zoom, FaceTime or on the phone. I look forward to hearing from you!
