About Kara

Experience: 2 yrs

Hi my name is Kara. I am a patient, reliable, kind, empathetic, and creative individual looking to be of service to a family. I am a student and working artist/muralist. I am really inspired to help care and create with young children. I am detail oriented and a great multitasker. I am confident in creating a safe and stable environment for little ones. I am a very healthy person with healthy habits. I love cooking and cleaning and am very good at both things. I can provide fun arts and crafts and lots of outdoor time. I am also happy to take them to do fun activities and outings. I am happy to help in whichever way is needed to ensure your family is happy and thriving.

I cannot recommend Kara enough! She was truly amazing in every way. From the very beginning, she was reliable, communicative, and incredibly kind. It was clear how much she genuinely cares about the children she looks after. My child felt comfortable with her right away, which says so much. She created a safe, nurturing environment while also keeping things fun and engaging. Whether it was reading, playing, or helping with routines, she went above and beyond every time. As a parent, having someone you fully trust with your child is everything—and I always felt completely at ease knowing they were in her care. She is responsible, attentive, and has such a calm, positive presence. We are so grateful to have found her and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for dependable, loving childcare.
