My name is Karen Herman, and I work as an aide in Shining Stars. I am originally from Illinois, and my family moved to Grand Junction in September of 2023. I like to help friends get organized and get rid of stuff they no longer want or need. I also enjoy working on family genealogy and collecting stamps.
I have my associate’s in Group Child Care, and I enjoy watching the excitement of the students as they learn new things and overcome difficulties, even as preschoolers.
My favorite Bible verse is Proverbs 3:5-6: Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight.
Aside from being a professional house cleaner for five years, I have been involved with children throughout most of my career. I have worked both in public and private schools, as well as day-care centers. I was also a Nanny for five years before the Lord finally blessed my husband (Matthew) and me with a child of our own after many years of waiting.
I homeschooled my son (Blaze) through 5th grade, and then he started attending our local Christian School back in Illinois. He is now studying to become a pilot. We also have a Puggle named Chestnut.
