About Cara

Experience: 10 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

I am a recently retired teacher with over 30 years of educating elementary aged children including special needs and ESL. I'm used to managing groups of 25 children for 8 different lessons throughout the day so multitasking and management are my specialties. My passion is to share my love for nature, adventure, and compassion towards all living things. I have also raised three successful children who are my pride and joy. In addition, we are the proud owners of a dog that we rescued from the Humane Society. I enjoy hiking, biking, playing pickleball, reading and working in the yard. I have all of the Covid vaccines including both boosters, CPR certification, all clearances required for public school teaching and do not smoke. I have my own vehicle as well which has supported me in working and driving my children to numerous athletic practices and dance lessons. I consider myself responsible, reliable, patient and kind.

Cara took care of my 3 girls during the day while I was out of town for a week last summer. She was an excellent caregiver and took them to do fun stuff each day. She was reliable and communicative. My girls would have preferred to hang with her for the whole summer.
