About Cara
Experience: 10 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
I have an Associate of Science Degree in Human Services and focused on Early Childhood Education. I gained experience working with children through internships at Berkshire Center for Families and Children in the Children's Center and in an integrated preschool classroom at Crosby Elementary. I then went on to work at the Boy's and Girls Club of the Berkshires in their Children Center for a couple years. I believe that all children are special individuals who deserve our respect and patience. Working with Children was extremely rewarding. I left this field in or around 1998 to go back to working full-time as Office Manager/Bookkeeper at my father s company and stayed there until my father's retirement. I then continued a career path as a Bookkeeper until 2017. I went back to school and currently work from home as a graphic designer for my own co. CG Stationery Studio designing event stationery.

There is no one else in the world like Cara; she is simply amazing. Shes been with our family since November of 2022, when our son was just four months old. She is attentive, knowledgable, and full of love for children. She has helped our son grow and celebrates the milestones alongside us. My son adores her and its clear the amazing bond she has formed with him. He lights up when she shows up. I thank my lucky stars for her every Thursday&Friday. She is outstanding.
