About Kara
Experience: 10 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
I am an almost empty nester who has raised 2 daughters of my own. I have been babysitting and caring for children for the last 30 years! During college, I worked at a daycare center all 4 years of school and then continued watching children on nights and weekends until I had my own 2 daughters! I have hired caregivers for my own daughters in the past and know what's important to parents. I don't consider babysitting to be a job but more of an extension of the entire family. It needs to be a great fit for everybody. I am super energetic, love kids (and pets) of all ages, personable, responsible, CPR certified, non-smoking, have own transportation and as well as having 2 grown daughters, I have 2 pug dogs! I do work full time for a Judge at the courthouse but would love to care for your children on nights or weekends.

Kara was hands down the best sitter we've had through care.com. She was on-time, flexible and accommodating, and best of all -- my kids loved her! She came prepared not just to keep the kids safe and cared for, but she had positive energy and was ready to enjoy time with the kids. She genuinely "gets" kids and took over their care seamlessly. My husband and I were able to enjoy a date night without any worries at all. Thanks Kara!
