Teacher-Floater/Substitutes

Karen D.
I have been working at Children Central since the summer of 2010 as a substitute teacher and I am very happy that I have become a part-time Children Central family member.  I love working with the children and getting to know their families too. The staff at Children Central is wonderful and always makes me feel like I belong. My two grandchildren previously attended Children Central and received a great education.

I was born in Trenton, NJ and raised in Levittown, Pa and graduated from Neshaminy High. I have many good memories of going to the Jersey Shore, which is one of my passions. I married my Jersey shore sweetheart Gary, whom I met in Wildwood, NJ and we raised three wonderful children.

We lived in Levittown for a bit and out in Colorado for three years.  Then we settled in Langhorne Borough in a 120 year old twin Victorian twin, where we raised our children for 20 years. We have a lot of good memories raising our children that will last a lifetime. We continued taking our children to the Jersey Shore as my parents did for us growing up.  But as our children grew up and started moving out, we decided to downsize and moved to a lovely little cape cod in Newportville, Pa., right outside of Hulmeville Borough. We’ve lived there the past three years.

We also have a place at the shore in Seaville, NJ near Sea Isle City where we spend lots of family time every summer.  Love the Beach and the boardwalk and going boating, fishing, and crabbing, campfires at night and long walks on the beach. I love spending lots of time with my family and good friends.  My family is very important to me and they are who I am today.

Aside from the shore, I enjoy going to flea markets and shopping for antiques, which is a hobby of mine.
