About Cara

Experience: 4 yrs

Hello! My husband and I have been married almost 35 years. We have reared four amazing adults who differ in age by only 6. 5 years. I understand the constant juggling of schedules and management of immediate priorities. I also home schooled my children for a few years. I'm skilled in communication, anticipating needs and possible complications before the arise. I am proactive rather than passive, in addressing any issues. I am patient, kind and caring. I enjoy pleasing people and seeing their needs met. I've been a caregiver for a wonderful family who had a 21-month-old and 7-month-old. We played and interacted almost constantly with story time, educational activities, music, dancing and playtime. Our day included very little screen time. I believe that interaction and play time contribute greatly to development. The same family, 11 years later, had another child. I was with them for another 1 1/2 years until Co-vid.

Cara is truly exceptional! We had the privilege of having her as our nanny for our older children when they were toddlers/preschoolers, and later when our youngest was an infant/toddler. Our children absolutely loved her, and we are eternally grateful for the loving and knowledgeable care she provided. What stood out most was Cara's excellent communication skills, her remarkable flexibility, and her impressive understanding of child development across all ages and stages. She's also incredibly organized and punctual. We felt such a strong sense of comfort and trust with Cara, and we always appreciated her detailed recaps of our children's day. She's a gem and we highly recommend her!
