About Karen

Hi, my name is Karen and I'm 52 going on 30. I am young at heart and love to make life fun. I am married with 4 grown children. I am an artist of all kinds, including hair nails, makeup, murals, rock painting, sewing,gardens, tattoos and more. I grew up with a family full of nurse's and firefighters. I always loved the medical field and finding out what makes our bodies tick. So right after my second child, I decided I wanted to work on an ambulance and I loved that job for many years. That was in San Diego. I did end up going part time after around 10 years or so, to take care of people at home. It started with my father in law having a stroke. I have taken care of many types of people,ages and personalities. A year ago, we moved from Everett and bought a house in Granite Falls. We go camping every chance we can, when Boeing allows my hubby to have time off. We have a German Shepherd named Nala that is 2 and have lots of fun with her. I have been background checked and finger printed for my ambulance work and work with the school district. I don't drink or smoke and have always had a clear driving record. We own 4 vehicles,so making it to work is never a problem. I have a big heart and love to make people happy. I like cooking , baking gardening, anything artsy, video games, writing, reading books, camping and movies. I am reliable, early and get along with everyone. If your interested or have more questions, let me know. Thank you for your time. Sincerely, Karen
