Bio
I am the mother of two married, adult sons and have 3 grandchildren, ages 5 months, 5 years, and 8 years old. I have a advanced degree in education, which included child development coursework.
I adore babies, but my 5-month-old grandchild lives in CA with her parents. I work weekends in a shelter with homeless children, and am looking to babysit for an infant - 3-year-old child in his/her home during the week. In addition to the days/hours listed, I do also have some flexibility in my weekday availability.
I am current on my American Heart Association CPR certification.

Reviews:
I hired Karen to watch my 7-month-old on three consecutive days while I was in Milwaukee on business. In a word, she was PERFECT! I had not previously left my baby with anyone but family and so was naturally concerned about doing so, but she put my mind at ease right from our first communication. She was very responsive in the planning phases, providing references, a comprehensive interview and supplemental information as requested (and what an impressive resume!). And, importantly, my little guy LOVED her! She watched him both during the day and in the evening and managed to get him to eat and sleep without any problem -- and she even seems to have cured a diaper rash he developed before we arrived in Wisconsin! Her extensive experience with and knowledge about children was obvious, and yet she was entirely open and responsive to my requests regarding my son's care. I am more than happy to give Karen my highest recommendation and I would be pleased to provide you with a more comprehensive reference upon request.
Sincerely,
GSC -- Sonja C.
