What is that word?

Waht is the word to describe a person who makes carelessly tiny mistakes all the time?

For example:

I have a p.t job, which is to correct kids' homework.

And sometimes I check them wrong just because I accidently missed out a word or something .

But I do know the answer.

And I forget tiny things often, or something like that.

How would you put that in word??

Please give me "noun, adj., and adv"

THANKS!!

Hi,

You don't want to just say 'careless'?

Hi, when I 'forget tiny things often' or 'make tiny mistakes' I usually define myself as an 'absent-minded'girl, but I don't know if it's right. What do you think, Clive?

Hi,

'Absent-minded' is a blame-free word, while 'careless' suggests fault.

So, I'm never careless, but sometimes I'm absent-minded.

Hi, thaks for all of your replies!!

It's not I don't want to use "careless".

It's that ..." careless " ,to me ,sounds like I don't really care , so I make mistakes.

Am I right?
