About Kara

Experience: 10 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

I am an almost empty nester who has raised 2 daughters of my own. I have been babysitting and caring for children for the last 30 years! During college, I worked at a daycare center all 4 years of school and then continued watching children on nights and weekends until I had my own 2 daughters! I have hired caregivers for my own daughters in the past and know what's important to parents. I don't consider babysitting to be a job but more of an extension of the entire family. It needs to be a great fit for everybody. I am super energetic, love kids (and pets) of all ages, personable, responsible, CPR certified, non-smoking, have own transportation and as well as having 2 grown daughters, I have 2 pug dogs! I do work full time for a Judge at the courthouse but would love to care for your children on nights or weekends.

We were traveling from out of town and hired Kara to watch our 9mo old daughter while we attended a wedding function. She communicated with us beforehand so we could get to know her prior to hiring which made us feel comfortable. She arrived early and got to know us and our little one. Our daughter took to her instantly and we also felt instantly comfortable and assured that she was the right fit for us. Throughout the evening we received text updates and even a pic of our baby girl sound asleep in the pack n' play - something my husband and I struggle to get her to do every night ourselves! Kara is so knowledgeable and so warm and kind! We wished we could have taken her back home across the states with us as our nanny! Definitely hire Kara!
