About Me

I'm married with 3 grown up children. I've been in childcare most of my life except for 10 years when my husband and I owned a successful tearoom in Falkirk.

My Experience

I've been in childcare for most of my life. I started babysitting for neighbourhood children from around 12 or 13 years old.
I've worked as a childminder in Germany for 5 years and then in a kindergarten.
My husband and I fostered children for 6 years before recently retiring from this.
We looked after children from babies to teens during our time fostering.
I have 3 grown up children of my own so lots of experience with children.
I recently helped a family look after their new baby as mum was unwell after giving birth. I started off doing most of the baby care and as mum got better and could take over some of the baby duties I helped with some of the household chores.
I generally look after the children in their own homes as feel this is a more comfortable environment for them.
I look after toddler twins twice a week so their mum can get a break. So have plenty experience with twins.
Recently had a family friend's 2 year old stay with us for 5 weeks to help her mum out. Absolutely loved spending time with her and taking her to toddler groups and swimming.

What parent’s dreams are made of

Karen has looked after my two younger children since we relocated from another country and they both instantly took to her. I have had a number of babysitters over the years and Karen has been the ONLY sitter that my two get excited to see. She is more than accommodating, especially when I have needed last minute help to watch my kids. She is kind and considerate to their needs and they always begrudgingly come home, since they want to stay with her. I couldn’t ask for anything more!
