Meet the Provider
Hello, my name is Karen Johnson. I am a childcare provider licensed by the State of Minnesota. I am able to provide care for up to
10 children at any given time from the ages of 6 weeks to 10 years.
I have been married to a wonderful guy, Gary, for 20 years. We have two children; our son, Jordan, is 16 years old and our
daughter, Paige, is 15 years old. We live on 5 acres just north of New Market on East 250th Street and have lived in the New
Market/Elko area for the last 16 years.
I am the third oldest of 11 kids. Being one of the oldest of such a large family, I started helping to care for my younger siblings at
a very young age. Babysitting jobs outside of our home started when I was 10 years old. Parents felt very comfortable having me
care for their children because of my experience with my own family.
Throughout my life, no matter what line of work I was in at the time, I have always tried to do the best job I possibly could, and I
do not look at caring for children any differently.
I know what an honor it is to be entrusted with the safety and well-being of your most priceless treasures – your children.
