About Kara

Experience: 10 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

Hello there! I'm an educator with nearly 10 years of experience across all age groups, and I've been a nanny and babysitter for even longer! Caregiving has always been my calling, and I am excited to return to it as I take a sabbatical from teaching. I am certified in both Pediatric and Adult First-Aid/CPR certified, and I have experience working with children with disabilities (ranging from mild to severe). I am happy to assist with meal prep, cleaning, laundry, and any other household tasks that may arise. On a personal note: I love cooking, baking, dancing, all types of crafts, and gardening! I'm always happy to think of creative, outside-the-box activities, and I'm an excellent storyteller (courtesy of a theater background). If this sounds like a good fit for your family, let's connect! Note: I recently made a Care. com account, so my profile does not have many reviews yet. If you would like references, please feel free to reach out!
