About Caru

Experience: 10 yrs

• RELIABLE • FUN • ASSERTIVE • STRUCTURED • Hiya! I'm Caru, but you can call me Kitt! • Most recently I've been the Director of a private school's after-school program, but much before then, I've been working with children & disabled folks since my high school church let me volunteer with their disability program. From there, I was an assistant teacher while studying ECE in college and... the rest is history! • I'm trauma-informed when it comes to care. I come from a background in psychology and grew up in an abusive home environment, so it's my goal now to break that harmful cycle and help those, like me, who needed a little love. • I spend my spare time making art, reading fantasy novels, practicing harmonica, playing videogames, and seeing live comedy!

We've know Caru for about a year as both an after school care provider and sitter in our home. She's kind, creative, and holds good boundaries with our kiddo. Highly recommend her to watch over your littles. Go and take a break...you've parented enough :-)
