Karen, garde enfant à York (del ray / keelsdale / mount dennis / silverthorne)

Karen is exceptionally talented at caring for kids - she is loving, caring, and firm. She is smart and funny. Both my kids love her. She cared for both of my children at a city-licensed daycare in Toronto (my daughter from 1.5-2.5, and again at 3.5-4.5 years, and my son at 12-18 months). There are two stories that I think will tell you what you need to know about Karen. My husband once asked whether the toddlers sometimes get to watch TV at daycare. Karen's response was that while it was allowed when part of a specific program, it didn't happen "on her watch" - there is plenty to do and parents trust the daycare to not only care for their kids but to teach and encourage their development. Another time I jokingly remarked that my daughter would be trouble when the teenage years came. She gently reminded me not to predict the future - we don't know who our children will be 10 years from now. Her point (as I understood it) was that we have to let kids grow and let them show us who they are and will become, not impose our predictions on them. Karen is genuine, loving, and kind. Kids with all different types of personalities respond to her calm ways. If you are looking for an experienced early childhood educator, who is responsible and reliable, hire Karen. I couldn't recommend her more highly.

Pour une periode de 6 mois, Karen m'a aide de plusieurs facon avec ma fille de 3 ans. Elle allait chercher ma fille a la garderie, elle cuisinait pour ma fille, en jouant avec elle. Karen est une gardienne tres ponctuelle, tres attentionnee et chaleureuse. Elle sait comment jouer et amuser les enfants tout en leur inculquant de bonnes valeurs et en gardant une discipline adequate. Karen ne fait pas le minimum, elle a surpasse nos attentes lors de ses 6 mois avec nous. Ma fille l'a enormement appreciee et avait hate de voir Karen a la fin de la garderie!
