A little bit about me

Hello,
My name is Karen. I taught preschool for ten years before having my own children. I have a degree in Early Childhood Development as well as a Certification as a Nursing Assistant. I am a mother of four and grandmother of 1. I am allergic to cats, so unfortunately cannot work in a home with them. Last couple years went back to teaching preschool in GA as well as working as a part time Nanny to a wonderful family. Recently moved to TX and I’m therefore looking to start working in August, once my boys return to school and we are settled in. I would like to work within the hours of 8am-4pm with a minimum of 25 hours up to full time. And to stay a 15 minute drive from home. Looking to meet a kind and loving family to work with. I am CPR Certified, fluent in both English and Spanish, and have experience working with neurodiverse children. References and resume upon request

"Karen is an amazing woman. She stepped up for me and my family when I needed it the most on multiple occasions. I dont think she will ever truly know what a God-send she was in my life. We are heart broken she is moving. She is the only person outside of my family I trusted with my children. She was there through the birth of 2 of my sons, ages 1 and 3 now, and came into my life when my daughter was just about 2 years old, she is 5 now. Karen is dependable, loving, smart, caring, authentic, and an overall wonderful human being. My children love her. I love her. I wish her all the best, but we are so sad simultaneously. We love you Karen. To the family that gets her... you are so blessed to have her in your life. There were so many occasions that I was blown away by the way she handled my 3 small children. Like when she came over with prek worksheets for my daughter to work on or when she told me she preferred no TV time! I love her. Will miss you Karen. God bless you always!!"

America L. - Seeking Work in Mc Kinney

Full-Time Child Care Provider Available in Mc Kinney, TX: America L.

Hi! I’m currently in school working toward becoming a nurse, and I’ve always been someone who naturally enjoys caring for and helping others. I love being around kids and getting to know their individual personalities, whether that means being silly and playing with them, helping with homework, getting outside for activities, or simply being someone they feel comfortable and safe with.

I’m very patient, understanding, and easygoing, but I’m also responsible and dependable. I know inviting someone into your home and trusting them with your children is a big deal, so I really value open communication and building a relationship where both the parents and kids feel comfortable with me.

I’d love to find a family that feels like a great fit where I can become a familiar, reliable part of their routine and make their days a little easier and more enjoyable.
